How to prepare for the exam

“

In this video, I'm going to show you how to best prepare for the exam using this course. First of all, the exam is divided into five main topics. You can see these on my screen to access all additional resources like exercise files, project files, quizzes and the final test on yesimadesigner.com. Now, once you reach this welcome screen, all you have to do is to create a new account by clicking on this icon here at the bottom. And this is going to set up a new student account on our learning platform. Yes, I'm a designer.com. All we need is your first name, last name, your e-mail address and a password that you can set up. Alternatively, you can also sign up with any of these options. So LinkedIn, Facebook, Google or Apple. Once you created your student account, you will be able to access all these additional resources starting with the projects and exercise files. so you can download these from here. Then you can find the quizzes for each of the main topics from the exam and at the bottom you will also find the final test which covers all the topics but I will come back and talk a bit more in detail about this later in this video. First, I wanted to talk a bit more about the quizzes that we created for each of the topics. What I suggest is to do these quizzes once you completed all the video lessons for a specific topic and then come over here and start the quiz for that particular topic to test your knowledge and to see how much you understood of all the things that we covered and it is important to mention that there are a lot more questions for each of these tests than just 20. So each time you are going to take this is going to be different because it's going to randomize the questions from the available pool of questions and when you are taking these exams if you are choosing the correct answer once you confirm it's going to verify that it's correct once you finish all the 20 questions at the end you will get your results and we set the passing rate to 70% which would be the same for the real Photoshop exam so until you reach the 70% I would recommend to retake the quiz but the The best thing is that you can actually see a list of your wrong and correct answers. So it just gives you a summary of everything that you covered. So to summarize, what I would recommend to do for each main topic is to go through the video lessons first, use the exercise files to practice everything that we cover in these videos, then go through or skim through the study guide afterwards just to remind yourself of all the important things that we in that topic and then when you feel ready then you can take that quiz at the end of the topic and retake it until you pass the 70% passing rate. Now in the real exam besides multiple-choice questions you will also be tested using Adobe Illustrator and performing tasks and to be able to help you prepare for this particular part of the exam I created projects and you can access these projects from this area which I mentioned already earlier in this video and once you download the projects.zip file which is a compressed file you will get four illustrator documents out of which two are templates and these are the ones that you should use to practice. The finished ones are just there for your reference if you want to check how the completed version of each of the projects is supposed to look like. So in case of this particular example that we can see on my screen there's five tasks that we have to do here that would be five separate tasks in the real exam. Now once you completed all of these projects and you also watched my solution videos and you feel like you are ready to try a final test you can come here at the bottom and choose all topics final test. So instead of 20 questions here you will get 30 questions which again is aligned to the real exam where you will have 30 questions in total. If you complete all of these projects and then you go through this final test at least once it should give you a very good idea of how the exam is going to work and once again most of the things that I'm asking here in this course is slightly more complex and harder that you will end up having to answer in the real exam.
