Last week I passed the SAP C_ACTIVATE12 Exam. After successfully passing this exam, I have accomplished the SAP Certified Associate – SAP Activate Project Manager. It is an important certification for me as it is going to give my career a boost.

In the following article, I will share my experience with the exam. 

Let me begin with my introduction. I am an IT professional working as an IT manager in a software house. I am an IT graduate with 2 years of experience. I want to pursue a career in the SAP platform so I decided to earn a certification.

I consulted my senior for professional advice and he gave me good guidance. I started to act on the plan he chalked out for me. 

As recommended by him, I opened the Valid4sure website. I had a chat with the customer service representative. I told him about my interest in the C_ACTIVATE12 Exam. He guided me about the exam.

He also told me to download the free demo for the C_ACTIVATE12 Exam from the
website which I did. I found it interesting enough to proceed with. The guy
also told me that they offer a money-back guarantee against all the training
material they provide at their portal.

I found this offer to be tempting. So finally I decided to get the training material for the C_ACTIVATE12 Exam from some online exam-specific portals. He suggested me to opt for the complete package which includes PDF and Testing Engine. After getting the training material, I started preparation for the exam.

I found braindumps by such portals, to be very helpful. I found them very updated and accurate according to the exam objective and course outline for the C_ACTIVATE12 Exam by the exam vendor SAP.

Practice tests and question answers were very helpful. With the help of the exam package by the said portal, I was able to get myself fully prepared for the exam in 6 weeks. Then I took the exam after a revision of one week.
