https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Associate-Cert/m-p/304768#M40302 <P>Hi, does anyone have a study plan for passing the Associate certification? I’ve made six attempts and haven’t passed; I just took the pilot exam and did even worse. The questions bear no resemblance to what I’ve been studying—I followed the university’s study plan, but the material I studied doesn't appear in the questions. Please help.</P> Mon, 28 Sep 2026 06:08:35 GMT edwincifuentes 2026-09-28T06:08:35Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Associate-Cert/m-p/304768#M40302 <P>Hi, does anyone have a study plan for passing the Associate certification?

You would normally get a breakdown of which category you did not do well once you finish the exam so that you can focus on those areas , is there a particular category you are scoring too low?</P><P>Apart from study, having some practical work experience on Dynatrace would help.</P><P>Just so you are aware there is also a change coming to certifications starting October 15th, 2026 , a new version is being released and there would not be a lab-based practical test anymore instead will include scenario based questions</P> Sun, 27 Sep 2026 23:39:36 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Associate-Cert/m-p/304779#M40303 p_devulapalli 2026-09-27T23:39:36Z
