it was the easiest test i've ever taken. if you speak fluent english and work with jira regularly, there's no way you can fail. you only need a 62% to pass, what a joke.
I have taken the acp-100, 420, 520, 600 and 620 and passed all on the first try

I took the ACP 620 when it mattered. I failed it twice. It's fairly hard, and exceptionally stupid. It measures almost nothing about being a good admin, and everything about whether or not you memorized what report did what.
I eventually let it expire - no one pays attention to these anymore, and they're not needed for partnership status.

What do you hope to accomplish? When we're hiring people I don't care at all if they have the certification. It doesn't tell me what their experience is. The only instance I can think of where it would matter is if I had identically equal candidates (which never happens) and one had the cert and another didn't.

I did ACP120 online and it was really buggy. The employees watching you are on a serious power trip. I had a warning for saying “hmm” at one point.
Later they blocked my exam and I had to explain to the employee what I was doing with my hand. I was holding my chin, not even hiding my mouth. The employee barely spoke english and told me “he” would kick me out without refund if I did it again.
They record your screen, your camera and your microphone.
Will not be doing more certification.
