Getting 0% in the Dashboard section twice usually points to a technical or evaluation issue, not a mistake in your lab work—especially if your screenshots confirm the dashboards were created correctly.</P><P>Please open a support ticket regarding the exam results. The Dynatrace exam/support team can review your lab execution and backend evaluation, verify whether the dashboard tasks were properly detected.</P><P>Make sure to include exam name and date(s), screenshots of your dashboard lab work and a&nbsp;short description that the Dashboard section returned 0% twice</P><P>This is the only way to get a definitive explanation or correction, and cases like this are handled directly by the certification team.</P> Tue, 23 Dec 2025 07:39:42 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Start-with-Dynatrace/Dynatrace-associate-Certification/m-p/292081#M1427 t_pawlak 2025-12-23T07:39:42Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Start-with-Dynatrace/Dynatrace-associate-Certification/m-p/292082#M1428 <P>I am yet to take certification exam. I wanted to get Idea on score calculation and focus area during exam, my question is if all questions are of same marks or practical question have more weightage over theoretical exam.</P> Tue, 23 Dec 2025 07:46:55 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Start-with-Dynatrace/Dynatrace-associate-Certification/m-p/292082#M1428 Praveen_dwivedi 2025-12-23T07:46:55Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Start-with-Dynatrace/Dynatrace-associate-Certification/m-p/292169#M1429 <P>I have attempted the Associate Exam a week ago i can assure you the theoretical section is very very difficult and it focuses on question not quite similar to the ones given in the path rather they are scenerio based and need intensive study time to the documentation and hands-on practice. practicals are important too but if u want to pass this certification kindly focus on theoretical as it consists of negative marking as well <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Thu, 25 Dec 2025 13:57:54 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Start-with-Dynatrace/Dynatrace-associate-Certification/m-p/292169#M1429 Muhammad-Ayaaz 2025-12-25T13:57:54Z
