Resources I used
Expert
If you’re an expert in Spring framework 5, which means that you have worked 2 years or more with Spring 5, I will be easy for you to go through the exam and get the Spring Professional Certification. All what you have to do is to know the topics that you’re not mastering well and work to improve you knowledge in this topic.
To do that, I highly recommend you to take a Udemy practice tests course called : Pivotal Certified Professional Core Spring 5 -Practice Tests
Beginner or Intermediate
So If you’re a beginner or intermediate in Spring Framework, I think you need to study some books and notes, So you can know more about the paradigm of Spring and learn how to use Spring proficiently. I would recommend a good book called Spring In Action in it’s last edition (5th Edition)
And finally, take the practice tests course I mentioned above. I’ll will prevent you from taking the risque of failing in the actual exam and losing $250.00 at once
In the End
My recommendation is that you take the certification exam as soon as possible. Do not allow too much time to pass between finishing your preparation and taking the exam, because information can be forgotten.
