Getting Ready for the

Level 1 Exam

Self-Check

Review your self-check from yesterday. What do you now know?

There are two avenues for being ready for the exam

(1) connecting with colleagues at least weekly between the workshop and the exam to discuss what you're learning.

(2) looking up tutorials on YouTube.

Take a closer look at the resources on the Google Level 1 site. Be sure to take a few minutes to look at something on that page daily - even a few minutes of poking around can keep things fresh in your mind.

Remember - It takes 24-48 hours for your Exam to be ready

You have ONE WEEK to take it once your exam is done.

You must score above 80% to pass
