Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has taken the new power exam for 7.x. What were your thoughts on it? Was it very different from the old exam? Any insight will be very helpful.

Hi,
where? exam taken at india or US or anywhere else?!?!

where ever it is, i think, the examination process only changed (#SplunkCertification is excited to be working with industry leader Pearson VUE on exam delivery.)

I'm based in the U.S. but any perspective from other takers would be welcomed.
In the announcement, the way I interpret it was a brand new re vamped test.

around 10 months back i did this exam and it was a good one.

In the announcement, the way I interpret it was a brand new re vamped test.
brand new, revamped in case of the exam delivery i assume.
other than that, exam content, format, difficulty will be same.

They just release the new 7.x exam at the beginning of October I believe. Did you take the 6.x version?
