Thanks to TiDB, I got an exam paper. By the way, during the exam, do I need to prepare a separate room and equipment like a camera?

Wow!!! Are you serious?

A private room is the best.

It is best to have a separate room so that your thinking will not be disturbed. PCTA does not have a camera.

Does PCTP exist?

I don’t know, I haven’t taken the test yet.

Thank you, I used to think that the camera had to be on for the entire exam.

When I took the PCTA exam, I prepared a computer with a camera, but the camera was not turned on.

You can use a laptop anyway.

:joy: Although it can be understood as an open-book exam, just like in university open-book exams, there’s simply no time to flip through the book. ~

Yes! Previously, the YCA exam was monitored by a camera throughout the entire process.

If you are not very familiar with the product content, it is difficult to find accurate information even with open-book exams, and often open-book exams are more challenging.

Yes, there’s no time to look for it.

Study hard and make progress every day.

Got it.

| username: YuchongXU | Original post link

A camera will do.

Don’t worry, there’s no problem.
