Splunk Developer Exam Retake

POR160893

Hi,

I failed my first Splunk certification yesterday - Splunk Developer Exam. I didn't realise how much questions from the "Creating Dashboards from Splunk" would be asked on the exam. This is my 5th Splunk exam and I have passed the previous 4 exams on the first go, including the Admin exam.

In the results breakdown, it seems I failed it by only 1 or 2 questions as I got full marks or half marks in all sections except 2.

I am just worried about retaking the Developer exam again in a week's time. Can you give any advice please?


Many thanks,
Patrick

Now that you know the sections where you came up short you what material to study.  Review your class material (if you took the classes) before retaking the exam.  Consider taking the Creating Dashboards with Splunk course, if you haven't already.
