Good coverage of data migration patterns, monitoring, and storage tuning. A couple of questions felt wordy, yet the topics stayed practical: Cloud SQL maintenance windows, Spanner consistency, and backup retention settings.
Moderate difficulty overall, with a few scenarios that needed careful reading. The strongest parts were IAM for database access, replication lag, and choosing between managed services for different workloads.
I liked the mix of design choices and troubleshooting prompts. Some questions were brief, but they still forced me to think about Bigtable row keys, connection pooling, and how Terraform fits into database provisioning.
The practice set spent a lot of time on Cloud SQL backups, failover behavior, and point-in-time recovery. A few items also pushed on Spanner schema design and when to pick read replicas over a single-instance setup.

50 to 60 multiple choice and multiple select questions in two hours, taken online with a remote proctor or at a test center.
Google does not publish a passing score. You get a pass or fail result.

Take a test, read the explanation for every question you miss, and compare the database services side by side until you can pick one from a requirement alone.
