## Tips to increase your success

Please find below a list of tips that helped me passing my tests:

1. Make sure that your are **rested** and **relaxed**. I prefer to do the test in the morning / afternoon in the weekend and not in the evening or even worse in the night after a day at the office ;)
2. The exam is **platform-agnostic** and does not contain any language-specific questions
3. Login the [Kentico Kontent application](https://app.kontent.ai) as you are allowed to use any resource (except discussing with another person)
4. Open the [Kentico Kontent API reference documentation](https://docs.kontent.ai/reference/kentico-kontent-apis-overview) for quick access to the most relevant info
5. Get familiar with the [Kentico Kontent sample applications](https://github.com/Kentico?q=kentico+kontent+sample&type=&language=)
6. Know the  **terminology** e.g. what the difference is between linked items and components
7. Explore Kentico Kontent's features like **environments,** **workflow**, **roles** and **localization**
8. **Google** is your friend. I prefer to do a search via: site:kenticocloud.com your searchterm here
