MongoDB C100DBA Exam Study Guide

mongodb_logo_300x100Today I completed my MongoDB C100DBA database administration certificate exam. This proctored exam is taken remotely online through Examity. The exam session duration was 90 minutes which consisted of 60 multiple choice and all-that-apply questions. The way I study is to condense a summary of my knowledge into a single document. Just the act of writing coherent paragraphs about a subject aids in my memory and understanding. For this purpose I prepared MongoDB_C100DBA_Exam_Study_Guide

This study guide expands on topics referenced in MongoDB’s own C100DBA study guide, and the MongoDB online documentation. My exam was related to database v3.2.  I passed my exam and my certificate license is #295-0761-259.

In my opinion, the exam is rather difficult, requiring deeper knowledge and practical experience than what is nominally presented in M102, M202 online courses. Of course the good student will expand on these introductory courses and establish a working platform to explore the syntax, properties and exceptions of CRUD, indexes, replication, sharding, administration etc. of various possible test cases.

This guide is especially recommended for M102 students to find condensed detail notes and documentation links on this subject.
