Thank you @Mumshad Mannambeth for a great Udemy course and KodeKloud labs on this. Cleared my CKAD exam with 84%.

Congrats, buddy!

Congrats. how much time it will take to prepare if a person has basic knowledge of k8s. can you share the schedule you have followed and resources? it will help
Somnath Pawar:
I have been using Kubernetes since 2-3 years for professional use, but that was not enough. Time management is the key. You need to be quick while implementing/debugging the applications. At first, I failed to cover all the questions within given time, hence ended up with 57%.
Then, I cleared some of my concepts through KodeKloud course & labs. Worked on my speed by creating lots of CLI aliases and practiced them before the second attempt. On 4th day of my first attempt, attempted the exam again (which is free), I covered all the 16 questions within first 80 mins. So I had enough time to revisit flagged questions along with non-flagged one too. Cleared this time with 84%
Somnath Pawar:
Kills.sh also helps you to speed up, though the tests over there are a little tough than an actual exam.
Somnath Pawar:
Another thing is, you need to prioritise higher weight questions over less ones. So try to avoid spending too much of a time on those questions with less than 4% of a weightage.
learning guru:
Congrats @Somnath Pawar.If someone has cleared CKA, does CKAD prep takes time? Is there a overlap between the two.
Somnath Pawar:
I haven’t done CKA yet, but as per my read, both exams have heavy overlap
