3 ways to ACE your Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin exam
You are on track to get your Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin. You have knocked out the prerequisites courses (Splunk Enterprise System and Data Administration) and certifications (Splunk Core Certified Power User) and now it is time to study for the exam itself.
If you are a beginner in Splunk, you will quickly realize that the study material covers numerous concepts and that can get overwhelming.
Here are some resources that you will find useful:
1. Go through the exam blueprint
The certification exam does not cover every concept provided in the study material and labs. Use Splunk’s exam blueprint to identify concepts to focus on based on the weightage.

2. Use flashcards as a study tool
This exam tests your understanding of concepts rather than practical application in Splunk itself. Flashcards are a great learning and testing method that will help you retain information. Several flashcard sets related to the study material already exist on Quizlet. You can also create a custom flashcard set using the site.

3. Review sample questions
The official Splunk website only provides 3 questions as reference to the actual exam. However, one quick google search and you can find several sites that offer sample questions for free. They will give you a better idea on what types of questions to expect.
