Test Overview The GAIQ test is90 minutes and70 questions long, consisting of both multiple choice and True/False questions. You need to answer at least56 questions correctly to pass (80% and above is passing). Thankfully, once you begin the test, you can pause it any time and return to finish it within48 hours of when you began.
Preparation First and foremost, go to Google's Analytics Academy and watch the Google Analytics Platform Principles and Digital Analytics Fundamentals videos. These are Google’s test prep videos and the best resources to start with. Pause the videos and take notes. The pace of these videos is incredibly fast and, unless you stop to take notes, the majority of your time will be spent staring at a screen with a vacant expression while drool dribbles down your chin.
You’re done watching the videos? Whew. Now, go read Jens Sorensen’s blog post and internalize the information from the videos. I know someone who actually just kept this blog post open during the test and used Control+F to find the information she needed. Though it’s possible to pass the test this way, I still recommend reading through this post in its entirety as it bolsters your retention of the material in the GAIQ videos. Be prepared to take notes and pay attention, though, as it is an extremely long and detailed post.
Wake up! You fell asleep combing through that ridiculously long blog post. It’s time to humble yourself and do some practice problems that are much harder than the actual exam. digitalrelevance has10 questions you can download and practice. Do them. Then, check your answers, weep at your50% score, and do them again to reinforce the knowledge you’ve gained thus far.
Ready to embarrass yourself further? Good. Go to this amazing site with more practice problems. Do as many as you are comfortable with; but, I suggest doing at least20-30 to get a feel for the topics you will encounter during the exam. Once again, these problems are much harder than the actual exam. I did them until I was scoring in the70% range while using minimal resources.
Resources for the Test You are now as ready as you’ll ever be. But, before you get started, open up a second browser and get your resource tabs ready. Personally, I used Safari for my resource tabs and Google Chrome to take the test on, mainly so I wouldn’t accidentally close the test tab while looking up information. Here’s a screen shot of my resource tabs for reference. These tabs are vital because, during the test, you will have to look up multiple answers and having the resources open will prove invaluable in saving you time.
First, download this cheat sheet from Matt Gratt’s blog. Give it a quick read so you know what information is on it. Keep it open on your desktop or in a tab on your resource browser. Another useful cheat sheet is available from Blast Analytics & Marketing. I’ve found this guide to be more detailed than the previous one and referred to it more often during the exam.
Now, open up the Google Analytics Help Page, an actual Google Analytics account for a web site, the IP addess range tool, Jens Sorensen’s blog, and, of course, Google on your resource browser.
