Sitecore 9.0 Certified Platform Associate Developer

I obtained my Sitecore 8 Certification about a couple of years back through the Sitecore official classroom training.

Since the release of Sitecore 9, I wanted to take the V9 exam but this time without the classroom training. Received a promotional email that the exam is available at a discounted rate for a limited period. Link here. So, registered for the exam without a blink. Today i took up the exam after a couple of weeks' prep using the study guide and passed the online proctored exam.
