Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer Study Guide (Sybex Study Guide)

I first got the ACE in 2018 with a 3-digit series number. I hold 5 other GCP certifications, and this book is one of my essential tools when I renew the ACE exam as required by Google. Whether you're getting up to speed, closing some weak areas, or just brushing up for the associate level exam when you've moved on to architecture/management, this book is an excellent review. The second edition makes several improvements over the first edition. There's a precision and efficiency to the writing style. The initial assessment, chapter-by-chapter review questions, and custom practice exams (online) are absolutely essential in assessing your readiness to take this exam. As the rear of the book says, if you can pass both 100-question online exams that come with the book at 90%, you're ready to take and pass the exam. This aligns with my experience.This may not be the best material for someone trying to cram...there is a certain level of assumption that you have some basic hands on experience with GCP, but does not assume or require you to know all areas in order to get up to speed. If you've even tinkered with GCP recently or want to expand your knowledge, this is a great way to get that process going and get a great tour of the GCP services and how they fit into the landscape of cloud architecture and engineering.

I used this book and the domain tests (?) on Google to prep for the exam. I don't recall ever being surprised when i did take the exam.

Has everything you need!

Helped a lot with preparation. Great resource to keep it with you even after clearing the certification

I teach ACE preparation classes for my employer and recommend this book to my students/coworkers. I keep 2 copies in my desk drawer for them to borrow. Nobody has flunked the test (that I know of).

I bought this book to get the online tests to help study, turns out as of may 31 they're blocking new registrations for the online test bank.

Can’t put it down. Hope I will pass the exam after studying with this book.
