This is probably the 2nd most important aspect of getting certified next to studying your butt off. In order to get certified you must pass 2 of the 3 exams Google offers.
These exams are:
Paid Search Fundamentals (Required)
Advanced Search
Advanced Display
As you can see, you must pass the Fundamentals exam, then choose 1 additional- either Advanced Search or Display. Luckily, if you study well enough, the Advanced exams won't be all that difficult. I found much of the material was review with emphasis on certain practices Google found most important for the respective test.
Planning Your Studies
Google does a great job providing & organizing study guides for the exams. Each guide is broken into chapters.
Choose 3-4 chapters a day & study for 4-6 hours a day. Remember, this is a guide to getting certified in 1 month- and how I successfully did so. Many people do this in several months, and you can too if you simply don't have that much time to invest.

That exam sounds like the ASE exam for mechanics. There exam was a pain. They had multiple choice with several ways to answer the question. I never had much success passing the stupid thing.
How much does this cost. Will it help make me more profitable with them. I'm already tied in with adsense.
Have to go for now. Thanks !
