Passed PD1 today. Thanks for the awesome study material and exams. Regards.
Last week, I passed PD1 exam, I learned so much from this course and still want to review slides to understand and learn more. Thank you, team. I have doubts I would pass the exam without FOF, but found parts too long to absorb information and was feeling that information was repeating. It is funny I would suggest parts would be shorter, but at the same time would love to see examples of tugs or tokens to better understand and remember.
Awesome news, TA! Congratulations on clearing the exam, the whole team is happy to know that we are able to help! We also want to thank you for sharing your experience and feedback with us, this will definitely help us with our continuous effort to improve our materials! Cheers!
