Should Google Make the AdWords Professionals Exam Harder?

Google AdWords Qualified LogoGoogle is currently running a survey asking AdWords advertisers if Google show make the Google Advertising Professional exam and certification harder. A Google AdWords Help thread has a post from AdWordsPro Sarah asking AdWords advertisers to take a survey on the Google Advertising Professional certification process.

The survey can be found over here and it asks questions such as:

  • Do you think the Google Advertising Professionals exam should be more difficult?
  • If you had the option to take a test in these elective subjects, is this something you would be interested in?
  • Should the Google Advertising Professionals exam be given in a proctored environment to help control cheating?

There are other questions, but these are the most interesting questions in my opinion.

Should Google have these tests in controlled and proctored class rooms? Are you kidding me?

Anyway, it is important for Google advertisers to take this survey, this way Google knows how to take the future of the Google Advertising Professional program.

Personally, I love the idea of making tests harder, but I am weird.
