I reviewed the training material several times and then took the practice test, but I performed very poorly. It feels like the questions and the training content aren’t aligned, and now I’ve completely lost my confidence about taking the certification exam

Just passed. This is the most accurate set of questions imo. A few are practically the same, and those that aren't still cover mostly the same topics with similar wording, so it's a great resource to study for the certification all in all.

These practice tests are a good way to check what you know and see where you need more work. Overall, I think they’re very helpful.

I am not sure what type of questions will be in the real examination. The course in Databricks Academy does not explain PySpark it only explains SQL. So Probably questions related to that should be here. Also the Certifcate documentations does not include DAB. But this question set had them. Which makes me confuse on what to prepare.
