Common Questions About the Autodesk Maya 2012 Certified Associate Examination Exam
The Autodesk Maya 2012 Certified Associate Examination exam is the official Autodesk test registered under exam code Maya12_A. Passing it earns you the Autodesk Certified Associate (ACA) certification, a credential at the Associate level. It is also linked to the related certification: Autodesk Maya Certified Professional. Autodesk exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Autodesk Maya 2012 Certified Associate Examination exam includes 30–35 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Autodesk Maya 2012 Certified Associate Examination exam you need 70%, and the official registration fee is $90–$150 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $90–$150 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
