Databricks Certified Apache Spark 3.0 TESTS (Scala & Python)

Hello,

Of course here you go (the lowest amount that udemy allows); https://www.udemy.com/course/databricks-certified-apache-spark-3-tests-scala-python/?couponCode=8FE2194DEA09597483EF

Sure, Python + Spark will be enough. Actually questions are the same between python and scala tests but there are some minor syntax differences.

I didn't take any udemy course, but I read Spark definitive guide and learning spark. You can check the following link as well, it might help you;

Few questions I received from Spark Architecture (Driver node/Worker node/Partition). Other than that lot of emphasize on column type vs string type. There was enough questions with multiple answers looks similar to create confusion. Also, there was questions from UDF. I would suggest to practice the functions. The documentation was available but it was not super helpful as there was no option to search, you only need to scroll.

I am working in Spark for sometime now and the following two course was super helpful for my preparation -

Hope this helps!

Hey Sorry for the late reply! I used the Spark: The Definitive Guide and Learning Spark to study for the exam. I would follow along and code the examples and try similar scenarios so you can convince yourself you know the material. I also bought some practice exams from Udemy so I could familiarize myself with the format: Practice Exams. I also recommend you get to know the documentation because they provide you with it on the exam, but its not searchable, so it helps to have a previous idea of where things are: Documentation. Finally, I would suggest you know which functions need a column vs a string rep of that column e.g. df.a_col, col("a_col") vs "a_col" because they definitely try to trick you with that on the exam. You need 70% to pass so that equates to answering a minimum of 42 questions of the 60 correctly. Hope that helps!
