Thanks for the comment. First off, I would definitely NOT agree that obtaining Google AdWords Certification is futile. It may not necessarily mean that you better at managing an account than an un-certified professional who has been working in AdWords for 3-4 years, but it does mean that you understand the basic principles of AdWords, and that you have the work ethic to study for and pass a demanding exam.

As I have with many other comments on this blog, I would suggest you visit our other blog post on Passing the Google Fundamentals Exam. There is a lot of great information in the post and comments that I think would benefit you. Thanks James, Good Luck!

I was interested in taking an AdWords internship. However, I reside outside the US and I am not sure as to how I should go about this. There are not that many local firms that are involved in this field. I am currently preparing for the certification test, and have completed the entire course material. Having the AdWords course under my belt coupled with reading entire books such as “Advanced AdWords” by Brad Geddis, in addition to various sources such as iPass website, I trust that passing the exam(s) would be a breeze. But everyone says getting certified is futile and one should focus on gaining experience. If I get the right experience, I am even ready to work free of charge in return. Please let me know if you can guide me on this and you have my appreciation.

There are many questions on the MCC and all of its options on the AdWords exams, although I don’t think there are many questions relating directly to Manager defined spend. For more information, I would suggest you check out our other Google AdWords Exam Blog. There are a lot of useful info and comments that you may find helpful.
Thanks Suri, and good luck!

I actually have some problems with Google AdWords exam is that I’ve never been working on it before and I’ve never ever managed any AdWords campaigns. But in the exam material, they talk a lot about MDO and MDS and you know that it’s not easy for me to join in MDS program. I have no ideas whether there is MDS or MDO in the Advanced exam?

On another of TriMark’s blog posts regarding passing the Google AdWords Exam, we have had a lot of feedback from test takers who have offered up AdWords exam sample questions and quizzes. Please visit our other blog post and look at the recent comments, as one commenter was kind enough to post a link to a very valuable site containing sample Google AdWords questions!

Thanks Muhammad! I hope this helps!

Thanks for the congratulations! I did pass with a score of 85%, but everyone in the office had an on-going bet that I would make a 78%. Sorry that was a little unclear. Also, I know I only speak a little about the exam in this post, but this was more of an introductory post of my experience so far. I’m trying to help other recent college grad students know what to expect when they take an internship. If you’re interested in advice for the exam, try looking at a Dylan’s post from a couple of months back. And as we both study for the Google Advanced exams, we’ll keep you posted!
