🎉 Passed the GitHub Foundations exam! 🎉

Publish Date: Oct 16 '24

After using Git and GitHub for quite some time, I finally got the opportunity to take the exam, thanks to a free voucher from GitHub. Here's my honest take on the whole experience:

📝 Exam Details:

✅ 75 multiple-choice questions (60 scored + 15 pretest questions)

✅ 120 minutes to complete it

📚 Study guide: GitHub Certification Guide https://github.com/AkshaySiwal/GitHub_Foundations_Certification_Study_Guide/blob/main/files/github-foundations-exam-study-guide.pdf

🔧 I prepped using Andrew Brown FreeCodeCamp course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdc0i7RcBv8

💰 I used this code(USUUMWDS) at checkout, but I'm not sure if it's still valid https://examregistration.github.com/overview

💡 What I liked:

✅ It’s a great way to refresh your Git and GitHub knowledge.

The exam touches on real-life scenarios that are actually useful for anyone

😅 What I didn’t love:

✅ Some questions required memorizing tons of details (like knowing all 25 events that trigger GitHub workflows 😳). Honestly, there's no way to remember everything.

I finished the exam in just 40 minutes, and I even skipped some questions. I was sure I had bombed it, but somehow, I passed!

💭 Final thoughts: It’s a good refresher for Git/GitHub concepts, but if you’re not getting the exam for free, I’m not sure it’s worth paying for. 🤔
