Alright, I’m putting my stake in the sand - I will be getting my first Google Certification by the end of the weekmonth (or at least trying to). I’m done putting off getting certified in Google Analytics, Adwords, Adsense, etc. In a world where your first impression is everything, it’s just silly not being able to put these things on my resume.
For those who are also in the same boat, here are the links to get you started:
- Conversion University (Google Videos) – Watch these first!
- Google Testing Center - Are you ready? It’s $50 to give it a try and you have to wait 14 days before you can try it again.
- 3 Tips for Taking the GAIQ - Fairly helpful article discussing her run in with the GAIQ
- Full Copy of Conversion University Notes – Just copy and paste of the notes sections of the videos in the ConversionU
Just a quick note from the 3 Tips from above:
First, even if you’re a regular user of Google Analytics, make sure you prepare for the IQ Test; because there is no demo or sample test to take first, our advice is to prepare by reviewing the extensive series of Conversion University videos. Not only is each one clear and thorough, but you’ll probably learn a trick or two (I know I did). This will take a few hours of your time altogether, but it’s well worth the investment.
Wish me luck!

Hi Patrick:
Thanks for the link to our blog post on tips for taking the IQ Test. I hope you found them helpful. (One little request: could you change your link description from “his” to “her”?)
If you’d like to see anything added, please let me know. I try to keep the post updated as it seems to generate fairly steady repeat traffic.
And good luck on the test!
