The Google test is not something that should scare you. If anything, it should challenge you. Remember that you have to spend at least $1,000 with them in a period of 90 days before you are eligible to receive your certification. You can take the test at any time once you sign up for the course, but I suggest you wait until the last few days. It helps to learn the information and apply it as you move through the days. Even if you pass the test on day 3, you will not be given your certification logo until you spend the $1,000. The point being that you want to make money while you learn and not just give Google $1,050 for the requirements including your test.

The Test

In the real test you will have more than 100 questions. In total, I had around 107 or so. They are multiple choice questions which make it, in my opinion, a lot easier than you might think. You are given 1.5 hours and when you start, the clock starts. You cannot pause the clock so please take this test when you have the full available time. You cannot afford the luxury of taking phone calls while you test.

On a few occasions (very frustrating occasions) the browser would not reload after I answered the questions. It just froze on me. Google warns you that the timer will not stop for anything and I knew that my time was still running. I sat there waiting for the browser and nothing happened. I was afraid to hit the “Back” button for fear of losing all my work. After about 2 minutes, I hit it anyway thinking that I could file a complaint if I lost my previous answers (at this point, I was on number 72). Nothing happened for a few seconds and finally, I was taken to the previous question where my answer was still recorded. Thankfully, I was able to move on from there. This little freezing incident happened three times. And yes, the timer was still counting. Be careful and don’t be afraid to use the back button.

The test questions are scenarios mostly. You will have to do some basic calculations to figure out the ROI and Ad rankings. Other than that, the test is straight forward. By doing the math, you will have about 1 minute 18 seconds per question. This is plenty of time. Don’t rush and don’t panic. Remember to review your materials and get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast. Yeah, that’s what was always told to me during my school years before an important test. I figured I’d throw that in too!

After completing the exam, you will be sent your exam results and they will be posted in the Pro Center page of your My Client Center. Access that and see how you did. If you passed, congratulations! If not, you pay another $50 to take the test. Keep in mind that you will not be told what questions you missed or what answers you got wrong. They are very serious about confidentiality and will not disclose details of the test to anyone. If you don’t pass, you’ll have no idea what you need to improve or what you need to review. That’s why I suggest you knock it out the first time around.

If you get stuck while taking the test and don’t know what to answer, go with your first instinct…your gut reaction. Don’t second guess yourself. Answer what you believe to be true and move on. Don’t get caught up in “thinking too much” about it. Answer and move on. Remember that you only have about 1 minute and some odd seconds per question. Also, passing the test means passing with a 70% or higher.

After You Pass

When it’s all said and done, you will have passed your test and will have received your logo. I congratulate you now for your hard work and efforts. Feel free to post any feedback you may have or any other pointers you come across.
