It's challenging to be studied, but in the same time, it's really fun to play around with and it will improve your site when used properly...not to mention it's FREE :) Regards, Steven Hi Andreas,

I've been playing with analytics on my sites for a while now, but since I started studying GA the whole thing started to make good sense. It's a powerful tool and it will help me increase the quality of my sites and with that their ranking too. Best regards, Andreas Hi Steven,

The more you dive into this, the more comfortable you will be in this field. It was also hard for me at the beginning, but it become "manageable" now :) As far as a website that allows you to insert your own GA code...I have never heard of it :( I'll update u when I found one. Update me how your learning journey goes, ok! Hi Erica…keep up the good work! The more you dive into this, the more comfortable you will be in this field.

And Voila!  I've managed to pass the exam just yet. It was dreadful, but in the end, I'm proud of myself!  Some crazy moments initially, not understanding the questions, the phrasing, trying hard to find loopholes and pitfalls in the questions. I started the test at 12 am (Singapore time) and I've just ended it. Thanks and do look forward to sharing more! Thanks btw, for your site, it's a blessing to all of us!

I also faced that same problem when I considered to take GA exam. However, some self-questions would help you (or made it worse hahahah...anyway): 1.) Have you studied well? It doesn't have to be perfect. Well means thoroughly and you understood every subjects, especially the important subjects I have mentioned in the post, "Learning Focus". 2.) Have you rest well? This might not make sense for you. However, you need to rest well before take the exam. Don't rush it. Set aside a time where you can start the exam fresh and finish the exam under proper time. 3.) Prepare ALL resources you have. I mean open your notes, tablet, cheat sheets, or whatever resources you have to help you through the exam. Google.com will be your best when all notes and cheat sheets failed. 4.) Lastly, this might not be too comforting, but just in case you failed the exam, you can always retake the exam again. It's not a life and death matter....LOL, so take it easy. Ok...good luck, David. I wish you the best. Tell me how it goes! Hi David…thx for stopping by. I also faced that same problem when I considered to take GA exam.

You have to wait for 14 days before you take another exam and you can only take 2 exams in one 30 days period. So for example if you failed the test today (09/18), you can take another test on 10/02. However, if you failed the 2nd exam, you have to wait until 10/18 before you can take another one. I hope it helps to clarify the time duration. Wish you the best...let me know how it goes!
