Written by Shangara Singh

Exam codes: 9A0-054 and 9A0-074

The Adobe Photoshop CS3 ACE Exam Aid streamlines the task of studying for the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) certification. It does this by testing your existing knowledge of Photoshop CS3 and by helping you to obtain the necessary knowledge required to pass the official exam.

The exam aid is divided into Study mode and Practice mode. In Study mode, you have on demand access to answers, supplement answers, and paths/hyperlinks to corresponding pages in the Photoshop help documentation. In Practice mode, you can simulate a test environment and sit mock tests based on the question pool.

A separate section containing questions that cover only the new features is included. You may use it independently from the certification section to study for the recertification exam

The interface is streamlined and intuitive to use. You can customize the mock tests, view passing score and individual module score, and compare your answers against the correct answers.
