Has anyone here taken the Visual Design using Photoshop test before? Any recommendations of things to know or resources to use to study? I've gone through the photoshop classroom in a book and done some small projects on my own for a reference for how much I know.

I have taken it late March
There is a course on Linked In that, while old, is super helpful.

I emphasise that it's not the same exam, but that you can relliably depend upon what they say in the course to give you an idea.
The exam I took doesn't mention anything regarding AI, or very new features, and while it's supposed to cover 2024, you can safely say it's more about the 2022/2023 version of the app.
Doesn't hurt to know more obviously.
few caveats: The Certport UI is infuriating, so prepare thouroughly, test your set up (multiple times)
When you're ready to take the exam: clean your desk, and I mean clean it: No pen, no coffee, no watch, just your computer and your screen and your mouse. I had to unplug and remove my graphic tablet while being watched doing it so they could make sure it was out of sight. All they say in the preparation, they take it VERY seriously.
Be sure you got a webcam you can take off the computer (not integrated) because they will ask to get a live view of your room (the whole room) so you need to be able to show them.
If you got a latop with its own screen and one extra screen, one has to go. I chose to close the lid of my laptop and keep my big screen. But the bottom line is only one screen.
Certiport/pearson offers training material for free on their website (It's called exam objectives)

what I've done is that I printed it, and studied with either LinkedIn learning or reputable videos step by step. I have been doing Photoshop work for more than a decade and I still learned things!
That's the tutorial to navigate the exam process

They also offer (but not free) some training material, and they are pretty helpful too, just not completely necessary
Ifyou want to test the LinkedIn learning course and don't have a LI premium subscription, let me know as I am a subscriber, I can offer a month free link to anyone
Hope it helps!

Awesome thank you for all the recommendations! I've passed the exam for Premiere Pro previously so I've already gotten used to the annoying Certiport UI thankfully.
I would love that link for a free month to LinkedIn premium if you'd be willing to share it!

I would love that link for a free month to LinkedIn premium if you'd be willing ...
apparently it's now 2 months free (check the conditions though!)
Glad you got used to the Certiport interface. I found it extremely laggy, fearing a Photoshop crash in the middle. At least you know what to expect... Good luck!
