The test is around 10 questions about debugging a project and then around 10 assignments to make a project. The best preparation is to watch all the IU video's and , maybe play around a bit in Ignition and then keep te video's close when you're going through the test. ---

To anyone considering helping on this thread, the OP has [a history](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/shashiraj_p_s/activity) of expecting rapid answers and bumping threads without waiting a reasonable amount of time for a response (18 minutes in this case), doesn't respond to questions seeking more information and gives nothing back (doesn't mark any answers as solutions). S/he has been warned several times but doesn't seem to learn. ---
