Hi all! 
I’m new here and have been working with dbt since September. I’m still getting my footing and learning as I go, but I have a big goal: I want to take the dbt Certification Exam.
That said, I know there’s still room for improvement in my skills, and I’m not sure how to prepare for the exam. What would you recommend? Are there must-take courses or specific training you’d suggest?
I’d love to hear your advice on how to get exam-ready and make the most of this journey. Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated! 
Thanks in advance for your help! 
Hi
Personaly, in addition to the study guide on https://www.getdbt.com/certifications/analytics-engineer-certification-exam
I used https://www.qanalabs.com/ to familiarize myself with the types of questions.

I also found that the dbt offcial preparation course for the dbt Developer Certification lacks or hardly mentions a few topics that come up in the exam:
- Ephemeral models
- Hooks
- Defer
- State comparison (mentioned in the one lesson about cloning)
- Test selection and indirect selection
