Practice modes

  • Timed mock exams: build pacing, endurance, and decision-making under time pressure.
  • Topic drills: fix weak areas fast (best for spaced repetition).
  • Mixed review: combine recent misses with high-yield topics to reinforce retention.
  1. Skim the syllabus and mark high-weight topics.
  2. Drill one topic at a time (untimed first, then timed).
  3. Review explanations immediately and keep a short miss log.
  4. Run a timed mock to measure pacing and coverage.
  5. Re-drill weak sections, then retake a fresh mixed set or mock.

Timing tip

  • Use untimed sets for learning and timed sets for performance.
  • If you keep running out of time, reduce re-reading and aim for a first-pass answer, then review flagged items.

What to pair with practice

  • Overview: what is tested and how to approach questions -> read
  • Syllabus: objectives by topic/domain -> open
  • Cheatsheet: high-yield formulas, tables, and decision pickers -> review
  • Study plan: a simple 30/60/90-day path -> use
  • FAQ: common candidate questions -> see
  • Resources: official references and exam pages -> browse

Tip: The fastest way to improve is to turn every miss into a one-sentence rule and re-drill that topic 48-72 hours later.

Exam snapshot (high level)

  • Certification: Databricks Certified Data Analyst Associate (DA‑ASSOC)
  • Audience: analysts and analytics engineers working primarily in SQL and dashboards
  • Skills level: you should be comfortable writing SQL queries and reasoning about result correctness
  • Official details: registration, pricing, and delivery mode can change—use Resources for current info.

What DA‑ASSOC measures (what you should be able to do)

1) Write correct SQL under realistic constraints

  • Joins, aggregations, window functions, subqueries/CTEs.
  • Null handling, distinct vs group-by logic, and dedup patterns.

2) Build dashboards and share insights

  • Creating charts, filtering, parameters, and basic dashboard hygiene.
  • Understanding what makes a dashboard trustworthy (definitions, freshness, and consistency).

3) Understand lakehouse data usage (concept-level)

  • Tables vs views, schemas/catalogs, and permissions awareness.
  • Basic performance intuition: filtering, partition pruning (concept-level), and avoiding overly expensive queries.

Common traps

  • Window function misuse (wrong partition/order clause).
  • Join mistakes that create duplicate amplification.
  • Misinterpreting nulls and filters (especially with LEFT joins).
