Answer 1

I have passed the M2 Associate Developer exam recently. Question can not be remember as they are in multi line and hard to understand. The main point is question understanding. If you understand the question correctly, you get the answer easily.

Answer 2

I passed the Associate Developer exam last night, here's my profile: https://u.magento.com/certification/directory/dev/3153044/.

I found that I had to read each question at least twice to get a 100% clear understanding of what they're asking - as Suman Singh says, each question tends to be quite long (2 or 3 lines in most cases) and provides a bit of background on the scenario.

The SwiftOtter practise test is worth doing to get your head in the mindset you'll need to take the exam. The questions are not exactly what you'd find in the exam, but are of a similar difficulty and are along the same lines. I got 78% on this practise test and got 84% in the actual exam, so it's a fairly good indication.

The biggest tip I can give you is to not rely just on reading material - you really need to get your hands dirty. With most of the questions, you can usually narrow the answers down to 2 potential right answers. The difference in these 2 answers might be as simple as one word, or one extra directory in a Controller path - this is where your practical experience becomes invaluable.

Good luck!
