Acquia Site Studio Site Builder exam-day guide
Acquia Site Studio Site Builder · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the same ID name that matches your registration exactly. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted for online-proctored versus test-center delivery.
Stable computer and internet connection
If testing remotely, use a wired or strong Wi-Fi connection, close bandwidth-heavy apps, and run any system/equipment check the provider offers well before test day.
Webcam and microphone (remote delivery)
Remote-proctored exams typically require a working camera and mic for identity verification and room scan. Confirm with the provider the exact equipment requirements.
Quiet, private, well-lit room
Clear your desk of notes, phones, and secondary screens unless the provider permits them. A room scan is commonly required for remote proctoring; confirm with the provider.
Know your login/account credentials
Have your exam account username and password ready and verified beforehand so you are not resetting a password under time pressure.
Review Acquia Site Studio core concepts
Be fluent with components, templates, layout canvas, element types, styles, tokens, and responsive breakpoints, since practical tasks test applied configuration knowledge.
Practice in a Site Studio environment
Build a component, create a template, and apply styles/tokens end to end so the UI is familiar and you can work efficiently.
Confirm exam logistics with the provider
Verify time limit, number of questions or tasks, passing score, allowed resources, and delivery method directly with Acquia or the testing provider.
Plan timing strategy
Decide in advance how to pace yourself: flag uncertain items, answer confidently known ones first, and reserve time to review.
Rest and hydration plan
Sleep well the night before and plan a light meal and water beforehand. Confirm with the provider whether water or breaks are allowed during the session.
Plan the day
Re-read the official exam objectives and map each topic to your strengths and gaps. Spend time only on weak areas.
Do hands-on practice in Site Studio: components, templates, layout canvas, styles, tokens, and breakpoints.
Confirm all logistics with the provider: appointment time, delivery method, ID requirements, allowed materials, and system requirements.
Do a final light review of key concepts and terminology. Avoid cramming new material.
Run the provider's system/equipment check if testing remotely, and confirm your login works.
Prepare your workspace, ID, and any permitted items. Get a full night's sleep.
Eat a light meal, hydrate, and arrive/log in early per the provider's instructions.
Close unnecessary applications, silence devices, and clear your desk of disallowed items.
Read each question or task carefully; answer confident items first and flag uncertain ones to revisit.
Watch the clock and reserve the final minutes to review flagged items before submitting.
Rules to check
Present valid government-issued photo ID matching your registration; confirm accepted ID types with the provider.
Follow all proctor instructions, including any room scan or environment checks for remote delivery.
Do not use unauthorized materials, notes, or assistance; confirm with the provider exactly what resources, if any, are permitted.
Keep your workspace clear of phones, secondary screens, and notes unless explicitly allowed; confirm with the provider.
Stay in view of the camera and remain at your station; confirm with the provider the policy on breaks and leaving the view.
Understand the scoring model and passing threshold before you begin; confirm the exact passing score and question/task count with the provider.
If a technical issue occurs, pause and contact the proctor or provider support rather than troubleshooting alone.
Do not share, record, or reproduce exam content; treat all questions as confidential per the provider's agreement.
