What You’ll Learn
- Pass the GCP – ADP (Associate Data Practitioner) Exam on Your First Attempt
- In-Depth Explanations + Direct Links to GCP Resources
- 50+ GCP Study Cards Covering the Most Important Services
- Differentiate Between OLAP and OLTP Systems - Understand analytical vs transactional workloads and when to use each.
- Describe the core responsibilities of a data engineer in building and maintaining data pipelines to enable reliable data analysis.
- Compare the characteristics of SQL and NoSQL databases in terms of schema, scalability, and data model to determine the appropriate use case for each.
- Contrast ETL and ELT data pipelines to identify the key differences in their data transformation stages.
- Match core Google Cloud services like Pub/Sub, Dataflow, and Cloud Storage to specific data ingestion requirements like streaming, batch, and file uploads.
- Explain the key features of BigQuery, including its serverless architecture, columnar storage, and federated queries, for large-scale data analytics.
- Differentiate between the main Google Cloud Storage classes (Standard, Nearline, Coldline, Archive) to optimize for cost and data access frequency.
- Explain the primary use case for Dataproc as a managed service for running Apache Spark and Hadoop jobs on Google Cloud.
- Describe the role of Eventarc in building event-driven architectures by routing events from Google Cloud sources to trigger services like Cloud Run.
- Describe the purpose of Cloud Data Fusion for visually building and managing code-free ETL/ELT data pipelines on Google Cloud.
- Explain how Dataflow is used to run scalable, unified data processing pipelines for both streaming and batch data using Apache Beam.
- Explain how the BigQuery Data Transfer Service automates the scheduled ingestion of data from SaaS applications and other cloud services into BigQuery.
- Describe the use of Datastream for capturing and delivering real-time data changes from source databases to Google Cloud destinations.
- Apply basic SQL clauses including JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY to query, filter, aggregate, and sort data from a relational database.
- Describe the function of Pub/Sub as an asynchronous messaging service for ingesting event streams and building decoupled, scalable applications.
- Describe how Storage Transfer Service is used to manage and automate large-scale data migrations from online and on-premises sources to Google Cloud Storage.
- Use the gcloud storage cp command to copy files and directories between your local file system and a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
- Identify when to use the Transfer Appliance for a high-capacity, offline data transfer when network bandwidth is a limiting factor.
- Explain how to apply the principle of least privilege using IAM roles to manage user access to data resources in Google Cloud.
- Describe the function of Looker as a business intelligence platform for data modeling, analysis, and creating interactive visualizations.
- Differentiate between data in transit and data at rest, and explain how Google Cloud encrypts both by default.
- Differentiate between Cloud Composer and Cloud Scheduler based on their use cases for complex workflow orchestration versus simple, time-based job scheduling.
- Compare the characteristics of CSV, JSON, Avro, and Parquet file formats in terms of schema, storage structure, and their optimal use cases in big data pipeline
- Differentiate between BigQuery ML and Vertex AI AutoML for creating models inside BigQuery with SQL versus building them with a graphical interface for broader

I highly recommend this pack of mock exam questions as an excellent tool to prepare for the real exam, which can be quite challenging even for experienced professionals. As with all of Vladimir’s courses and mock exam packs, this one is carefully structured and accurate, and has everything you need to maximise your chances to pass the exam with the first attempt. Use it to identify and close knowledge gaps, as well as to boost your confidence before taking the exam. Good luck!
