These practice exams were really helpful for my preparation. However, I have relied on both my practical experience with GCP hands-on and the learnings coupled with another Udemy course. Honestly speaking, I used the below resources. 1. Ankit Mistry's GCP PCSE course from Udemy. 2. Hands-On with GCP Accounts, I am working on GCP cloud since last few years and believe me, this really adds to your confidence for the exam. 3. Did these practice tests atleast twice to build my understanding of concepts as to identify where I am deviating from the thought process of question being asked. That way, these practice exams comprise of explanations with GCP Documentation that is helpful to assess and make up your mind what the real exam questions be like. Overall, I am really glad opting for these Practice tests.
