Passed the Python Engineer Certification Exam

I recently decided on a whim to take the Python Engineer Certification Exam and passed.

I had known about the certification for a while, but thought it probably wasn't worth taking, so I had never tried. Out of boredom and curiosity about what a Python exam would be like, I decided to give it a shot.

While I'm not a professional programmer, I had some experience using Python, so studying didn't take long — maybe about two days. I read through the Python Tutorial and worked through the practice tests. There are two official practice tests available, and I tried both.

Official Practice Exam (DIVE INTO EXAM)

Official Practice Exam (PRIME STUDY)

The Python Tutorial and practice tests are all free, so there are no costs beyond the exam fee itself. If you have some time, it might be worth giving it a try. I had been writing Python code in my own style up until now, but studying for this exam gave me a chance to review things systematically — I feel like things clicked into place, and I came away with a bit more confidence.
