Exam Strategies to pass PEGA CSSA Certification
Hi Everybody, im about to get my Pega Senior System Architect certification, and I would like to share with you my exam preparation and strategies to pass the exam. I started to analize first the exam blueprint, which you can find at the following link. i chose version 24.2 because it's the last available version of Pega. In the blueprint, we can find the topics and the percentage of questions that will be on the exam. Based on that, I did my math (Well ChatGPT did ), and came up with the following strategy to pass the exam.
Exam Overview (From Pega Academy)
- Number of Questions: 60

If you master the top 4 topics, you already cover 47 questions, which is more than enough to pass.
Don’t Ignore Small Topics
The remaining topics (User Experience, Reporting, Performance, and Mobile) contribute 13 questions. Answering a few of these correctly gives a safety margin
