SnowPro Snowpark Specialist: Exam Practice Tests

SnowPro Snowpark Specialist: Exam Practice Tests free download

2 Practice Tests with 50 Questions each, to help you pass the new SnowPro Specialty: Snowpark Certification Exam

=== I passed this exam with 88%! ===

Who these practice exams are for

• People trying to pass the new SnowPro Snowpark Specialist certification exam issued recently by Snowflake.

• Snowflake experts trying to improve their programming skills learning Snowpark.

• Python developers willing to acquire a certification in Snowflake AI Data Cloud programming.

• Data Engineers and AI or ML Engineers.

• Data Scientists and Data Application Developers.

• Data Analysts with some Python and SQL programming experience.

This is not an introduction to Snowflake, as you should already have some rather advanced knowledge on this platform. Passing the SnowPro Core certification exam is also a requirement for this advanced specialty exam.

My name is Cristian Scutaru and I’m a world-class expert in Snowflake, SnowPro SME (Subject Matter Expert) and former Snowflake Data Superhero. For several years, I helped Snowflake create many of the exam questions out there. Many of the Advanced exam questions and answers from the SnowPro exams have been indeed created by me.

I passed over the years 8 SnowPro exams myself, all from the first attempt. Including this SnowPro Specialty Snowpark exam, with 88%! In the last 3-4 years alone, I passed over 40 paid proctored certification exams overall. And I still never failed one, I was lucky so far.

This contains two high-quality practice tests of 50 questions each, to help you become certified as a SnowPro Snowpark Specialist, passing the new online proctored certification exam.

• All questions are closely emulated from those currently found in the actual exam, so you'll not waste time on anything else.

• All questions are curated and very similar to the actual exam questions, which are long and scenario-based for the most part.

• Most exam questions include long portions of code, as this certification is targeted in particular for Python developers.

• Unlike the real exam, you'll know right away what questions you missed, and what the correct answers are.

• Detailed explanations with external references for any possible choice, in each practice test question.

• Quiz question types are mostly multi-choice and multi-select.

How you should use these tests

• Try first practice test. And do not worry about the time limit or if you fail. You are expected to fail, this is how you learn...

• Stop the exam anytime, if you're not patient enough to go over all the questions.

• The passing score is estimated at this time to be around 75%. Once you are done, go to the Answers and Explanations section for your test, and check both the right and wrong choices for each individual question (remember these!).

• Read the detailed Explanation for each question.

• Repeat with the second practice test. Don't skip it, as both these tests together cover most types of actual exam questions.

• Repeat these tests again and again, until you score consistently at least 90% on each. And then go for the real deal.

• Good luck!
