Taking Google Exams
What to Expect
Now you feel ready to take your Google exams, you will need to log into your Google Partners account.
When you take the exam, a new window will open in your browser, displaying:
“Once you confirm an answer, you won’t be able to review the answer or change it. If you end the exam early or the timer runs out before you’ve answered enough questions correctly, you won’t pass.”
Just to clarify this point - the timer still keeps counting down, even if you:
close the window before finishing the exam
lose your internet connection before completing the exam
.
Remember you can click the start exam button to reopen the exam window and continue where you left off.
Once you click the ‘Start Exam Now’ button, you will be looking at the first question on the exam, and the clock with begin counting down.
Guessing
Don't leave any answer blank, after all you have a 25% chance of selecting the correct answer.
If the options are long sentences choose the longest option. Questions writers sometimes need to be specific in defining a correct option, this causes the option text to contain more words. It’s not always true, but it can increase the probability.
Completing the exam
Upon answering the last question of the exam and confirming your answer, your exam is automatically submitted for marking and you will be immediately presented with your final score. Your score page will display a message stating “You got **/100 questions correct” as well as a percentage figure. At this point you can close the window in which you took the exam and return to the Partners Portal.
Don’t panic if you can’t see a Pass/Fail on your Partner's profile straight away. Although you have just seen your score in the previous window, it can take up to 48 hours to show that you have passed or failed the exam within your Partners Certifications/AdWords tab. When the message does finally appear giving your exam status, remember that your actual score will not be displayed.
If you do not pass the exam on your first attempt, you will be allowed to resit the exam after seven days have passed.
