+
+As I set out to take and pass the [Acquia Site Studio](https://www.acquia.com/drupal/site-studio) certification, I really had mixed feelings about it as it’s like a Drupal module but is something totally new at the same time.
+While I knew my way around a Drupal site, Site Studio was a whole new world to me. Since I’m eager to learn something new and grow, I started to dive into it right away!
+
+
+Studying Acquia Site Studio was like piecing together a puzzle. It has a lot of interrelated features to aid site editors to build a site without having to write code.
+
+
+[Acquia Academy](https://www.acquia.com/support/acquia-training-certification) was the main resource that I relied on. It is Acquia’s home for training and certification, designed to help you obtain, assess, and maintain your Drupal and Acquia product knowledge.
+They have this 2 hour course called, Site Studio Site Building. The course is for site builders and developers who want to learn the inner-workings of Site Studio through demonstration.
+
+
+Acquia also provides a sandbox environment to partners. This environment was my playground - a safe space to experiment and learn.
+It is a fully built site using Drupal and Site Studio. This completely helped ease the learning curve because I was able to follow along with the demonstration course and got a sense and feel of how everything works together in Site Studio.
+A lot of tinkering with the Color Palette, Font, Icon Library Responsive Grid, Base Style, Custom Style and Templates features to name a few really brought me closer to mastering Site Studio's secrets.
+
+
+Other preparations were also needed before taking the exam, inside Acquia Academy, you will need to access the Acquia Certified Site Studio Site Builder course.
+It provides a simple walkthrough of the Acquia Certification Exam experience with ProctorU and the steps you need to do from creating a ProctorU account, scheduling and launching the exam.
+The course is where you can also find a download link for your certificate once you have passed.
+
+
+On the exam day, I had experience a little delay due to technical issues but the ProctorU technical support team were very helpful.
+Once everything was verified, I was given to go-ahead to start the exam. I tackled each question with a lot of tension and fear but also telling myself that I can do it and that I prepared for it.
+Thankfully, I passed the exam with only 1 minute left on the clock.
+
+
+In the end, passing the [Acquia Certified Site Studio Site Builder](https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-academy/study-guides/acquia-site-studio-6.x-site-builder) exam was not just about getting a certificate. It was about growing personally, staying updated on Acquia’s tools, and being ready to assist my Merkle team and our business partners, both now and in the future.
