What is the Tableau Desktop Specialist Certification? 

The Tableau Desktop Specialist Certification tests primary item information. It is the least demanding degree of accreditation that Tableau offers and has no lapse date, not at all like the further developed confirmations that are just legitimate for a few years. 

The exam is an hour-long with 30 numerous decision questions. You'll have to score above 70% to pass and there is a blend of involved and information-based questions. However it is administered and notes aren't permitted, Google is your companion and you're ready to look for answers! 

The exam as a rule costs USD 100. When you pay for it, you can plan it for as long as a half year later. I'd suggest booking your exam ahead of time as time slots can top off rapidly. You can generally reschedule free of charge as long as 24 hours before your exam time if necessary. Follower Exam Services (LES) deals with the exam, so you'll have to make an LES record to enlist. 

Recommended preparation is Tableau's Desktop I: Fundamentals course, which is accessible through their eLearning stage (more on this underneath). 3+ long periods of item experience is likewise recommended, however as I would like to think you can take it at whatever point you're OK with every one of the themes in the Exam Prep Guide. 

For what reason Should You Get Certified? 

Regardless of whether you're a business investigator, data expert, work searcher, or understudy, getting ensured is an incredible method to show your capability in Tableau — a broadly utilized instrument for data perception and business insight. 

All the more fundamentally, reading for this exam gives you an extensive comprehension of Tableau. I can certainly say that getting ready for this exam has reinforced my insight into Tableau and empowers me to now make it without breaking a sweat. 

How Could I Prepare for the Exam online? 

1. Exam Prep Guide 

This authority archive remembers data for the exam, abilities estimated, and some example questions. I utilized the abilities estimated as an agenda of the relative multitude of subjects I expected to consider. 

2. Tableau eLearning (USD 120/year) 

Tableau eLearning has self-guided learning modules, with a demo and intelligent action for every subject. It's the essential asset I used to contemplate. Notwithstanding, I tracked down that the proposed Desktop I: Fundamentals course covered most yet not all abilities recorded on the Exam Prep Guide. The accompanying abilities were really in the Desktop II: Intermediate course — data associations (adding a join, mix, or association), making a set, adding a setting channel, utilizing canisters and histograms, and adding a boundary. In this way, I accepted the halfway level course also to finish my agreement — however, you can take simply the significant modules if you wish. I suggest that you take notes while watching the demos, catching significant ideas like the distinction among discrete and persistent fields. I likewise thought that it was useful to re-try the activities for the survey. 

eLearning costs $10 USD/client/month, charged every year. You'll likewise require an individual or expert Tableau Desktop permit to get to the .twbx action documents. In case you're a functioning proficient, it merits inquiring as to whether they can take care of the expenses of your preparation, stage, and accreditation. On the off chance that you're an understudy, you're in karma — you can get a year's free admittance to both Tableau eLearning and Desktop with a legitimate college email. 

3. LearningTableau.com Quizzes

This site by Lukas Halim offers free practice tests. I did each of the three Specialist tests and a determination of the Certified Associate tests for a test (relax if you can't finish all the CA tests as they're intended for a higher degree of affirmation).

Most points under the Creator segment are significant for this exam except Tableau Prep and distributing to Tableau Server/Tableau Online.

How to Succeed on Exam Day? 

Before the Exam 

• Survey the exam set-up record to guarantee your PC, organization, webcam, and mouthpiece (PC mic just — no headsets permitted), and actual climate are appropriately arranged 
• Be distant from everyone else in a calm, the sufficiently bright room got free from any notes, composting materials, and your mobile phone 
• Have your officially sanctioned picture ID prepared 
• Guarantee all applications are shut (aside from Google Chrome) and all VPNs are disengaged 
• Ensure you're just utilizing one PC screen (no outside or double screens) 

Stowaway the taskbar on your PC, as it might conceal the taskbar in the virtual climate and you'll require it to get to applications 

Beginning your Exam 

• Sign in to your LES record and snap the 'Take Your Exam' button 
• You'll initially be associated with your delegate through Zoom, where you'll be approached to screen and offer your video. The delegate will go through every one of the set-up checks with you, request that you open Task Manager to guarantee you don't have different applications running, and request that you show your administration ID and give a 360-degree perspective on your room. This can require 15–30 minutes and doesn't consider some portion of your hour-long exam time. When you pass every one of the checks, they will start the virtual desktop. 
• My virtual desktop had the most recent adaptation of Tableau Desktop, an envelope of data documents for the exam, and Mozilla Firefox. 
• When you formally start the exam, an extra 5 minutes is added to the clock to permit you to peruse the directions and get to know the exam highlights (for example instructions to hail questions, where the clock is). You can rapidly skim this and go directly to the main inquiry. 

Exam Tips 

• Once associated with your delegate, limit the video board for Zoom so it doesn't divert you or cover any piece of your screen. 
• As you'll be working in a virtual climate, anticipate that it should be slower than your nearby machine. You will not have the option to utilize the Alt + Tab alternate way to switch between windows, so you'll need to do this physically. Everything you can manage is part of the screen (I had the questions window on the top half and Tableau on the base half), however now and again you may require the full-screen perspective on Tableau. 
• Open another worksheet for each active inquiry and name the worksheets by the inquiry number. This will permit you to effortlessly check your work later. 
• Zero in on the questions you realize how to do first, and banner questions you'd prefer to Google for last. While looking for answers to information-based questions, start with Tableau's assistance pages, which regularly have comparative verbiage to the appropriate responses given. 
• A portion of the questions will get some information about the means or techniques to play out an assignment. For example, changing, arranging or picking an alternate shape type. I thought that it was useful to test things out in Tableau for these kinds of questions instead of Googling. 
• A portion of the questions permit you to check different boxes, so ensure your answers are thorough of all arrangements. 
• Twofold check your work if the time licenses. I completed my exam in around 45 minutes and utilized the excess 15 minutes to examine it.
