Query about Architect Exam (recertification)

folks,
For the final Architect Exam, can you please confirm

  1. If the Architect Exam is multiple choice? (or any other format?)
  2. Any books/materials to look for sample questions?

thanks in advance

Yes, it is multiple choice. The are class pre-requisites that provide you with slides that should contain every detail to answer every question correctly. The test was heavy on CLI syntax with very minor variations for each answer (which I though was not reasonable) and also log details from index=_internal (e.g. DS/DC details).

Yes, the exam is multiple choice.

The best study material is the slide decks from the Architect, Troubleshooting, and Cluster Administration classes.
