I've been compiling resources as I study for my ACMA - Aruba Certified Mobility Associate certification and figured I'd share what I've found. All free unless noted.

Practice Tests:

  • PracticeTestGeeks — most comprehensive collection I've found, good question explanations, covers ACMA - Aruba Certified Mobility Associate, ACSP - Aruba Certified Switching Professional, and ACT 235 - Act 235 Lethal Weapons Training Certification. Free.
  • Official practice materials from the certifying body — usually 1 free sample exam, worth doing even though it's short

Study Materials:

  • The official ACMA exam handbook / candidate guide (PDF, free from the certifying body's website)
  • YouTube — search for "ACMA exam prep" — there are surprisingly good free video reviews for most specialized certifications certifications
  • Reddit r/certifications — people post their exam experiences and tips regularly

Paid (worth it if budget allows):

  • Official study guides run $30-80 for most specialized certifications certifications — worth it if your exam has lots of specific factual content
  • Some certifying bodies offer prep courses — check if your employer covers it (many do for required certifications)

What resources have others found useful for specialized certifications exams? I'll add them to this list.
 
Great list. I'd add: LinkedIn Learning has some specialized certifications-related courses that overlap with cert content, and if you have a library card many libraries give free access to it. Also check if your local library has access to O'Reilly or similar — tons of technical content there.
 
The official candidate guide is something a lot of people skip but it literally tells you the topic weighting and domain breakdown. It's the roadmap for your study plan. Never skip it.
 
For ACMA - Aruba Certified Mobility Associate specifically, I found the PracticeTestGeeks explanations were detailed enough that I didn't need to buy a separate study guide. The combination of doing the practice questions + reading every explanation (for both right and wrong answers) covered most of the content I needed.
