4. FAQ
Q1: Alibaba Cloud certification is divided into four levels: ACF, ACP, ACA, ACM, which one should I take?
Answer: If you are a student with no actual work experience, it is recommended to take the ACF; if you are a professional with more than 1 year of relevant experience, it is recommended to take the ACP.

Q2: There are four types of ACP, which one should I take?
Answer: The most widely applicable and least difficult exam is the ACP cloud computing professional certification, suitable for all people who want to take the exam.
Big data, security, and enterprise-level Internet architecture, each of which focuses on one direction, is suitable for practitioners in this direction.
Q3: What is the passing rate of the ACP exam? Is the gold content of the certificate high? What is the validity period?
Answer: The ACP exam only looks at the score, not the proportion. The pass rate is high for those who have spent time preparing it; the pass rate is low for those who have not spent time preparing. The overall pass rate has nothing to do with your probability of passing the exam, and it does n’t make sense to discuss the pass rate together.
