Q: How do I practice before taking the exam?

Practice tests are available online and are free. The topics and questions in the practice tests are aligned to the proctored certification exams. Please note that unlike the proctored exams, practice tests have static questions. This means that you will receive the same questions every time you take a practice test. In addition, you will receive a score report after the practice test that will reflect topics you need to prepare further.

• UiPath RPA Associate Practice Test

• UiPath Advanced RPA Developer Practice Test

• UiPath Automation Business Analyst Practice Test

IMPORTANT NOTE: Repeatedly taking a practice test until you achieve a high score does not ensure that you will achieve a high score on the certification exam.
