Passed the Cloud Digital Leader exam

I just wanted to tell you guys my experience as a newbie into the Cloud world with ZERO experience on this field.

I started studying the Infrastructure Fundamentals: Core material by mistake and I found myself very lost, I thought that this was very hard. I finished the course with so many questions but I learned many things.

Then I realized I was studying with the wrong material and I started with the real Cloud Digital Leader path that is available on the Cloud Skills Boost platform, and I started to understand every single concept.

At this point I have read so many posts talking about how complex was this fundamentals exam compared to the other two big clouds exams, and I just got stressed by trying to remember every single detail about the course and the services offered. I even bought a course in ExamPro which is now outdated because the exam content has just changed three weeks ago.
The questions on the test exams are so HARD that I even started to think that the exam was made to make us fail.

Then, the day came and I did the test. The exam was EASY. I don’t know if I studied a LOT or the exam was really easy, I didn’t find distractor answers in almost any questions, like similar services or something like that, the answers were things that were obviously wrong.

And now I have 1 question to you guys:

Was the exam really that hard in the past? Did Google make the exam easy again? Or did I study a lot?
