Want to be part of a beta exam?

Optimizely works hard to make sure that each exam is technically accurate and relevant to current products using beta exams. Beta exams allow Optimizely to evaluate item performance before items are used on a live exam where they may impact a candidates score. Exams may go through the beta exam process when a new exam is developed or when major changes are made to the content areas on an existing test.

Optimizely certifications are refreshed on an ongoing basis so our exams measure the most up to date and relevant information for our professionals.

Candidates qualified to take the beta exams should be experienced in their job roles and have access to Optimizely resources such as documentation guides, online resources including blogs and training. 

A major benefit of participating in the beta exam window is that these exams are offered at a 50% discount from the standard exam pricing. Additionally, candidates who participate in a beta exam have the opportunity to take the newest exams first. 

Optimizely needs approximately 200 beta test-takers to ensure a valid, reliable evaluation of the skills and knowledge measured on each exam. Optimizely will post announcements for upcoming beta exams so candidates have the opportunity to prepare and participate in these evens.

Candidates who participate in a beta exam generally receive their scores 30 - 60 days after the end of the beta administration testing period.

The purpose of a beta exam is to capture test candidates’ initial responses to test questions. Therefore, any respective beta exam can be taken only once. 

Exam details for each beta exam are located on Optimizely’s exam information & preperation page.

Although Optimizely’s goal is to provide the majority of training materials and instructor led sessions before launching a beta exam, it’s not always possible.
