Introduction
About Exam
o Study guide WIKI URL:
https://wiki.hybris.com/display/education/Study+guide+for+Hybris+Commerce+6+Certificat
ion+Exam+-+Developer+Professional
o Questions Format: 80 multiple choice questions; no partial marks for partial correct
answers; Few sample questions found here
o Taking the exam:
 Follow the instructions mentioned in KX site to register for the exam via MyLearning. After
the registration is approved, it will take 3-5 days for the Accenture Certification team to
process the request and make the payment to SAP. Once the payment is received by SAP,
you will get a direct email from SAP for registering on their certification cloud site to
schedule the exam (make sure you set the correct time zone on your profile as the exam
schedule is based on that time zone).
 Once registered in the above site, you can schedule exams 24x7 to take from your home
and can reschedule if required before the exam.
 5-10 minutes before the exam, the link to start the exam session will be enabled in your
scheduled exam list in the SAP cloud site.
 You will be monitored by a proctor remotely via the webcam on the laptop throughout
the exam and you will need to have two forms of Govt. photo ID to show to the proctor
during the exam session.
 Instructions on what you need to setup on your laptop will be sent to your email after you
schedule the exam; You will be asked to install special browser-like software prior to the
exam so that you can't switch tabs and it will be used for taking the exam. Upon completion
of the exam, you will get the topic-wise performance results along with the pass/fail result
on the screen immediately. You can't print the topic-wise results as print screen will be
disabled by this software; Upon passing, the email to download the certificate usually
arrives in about 3 business days.

Approach followed to prepare this guide:

1. Though there are links given in the above Hybris Wiki URL, they are more of top-level topic
links type and may not be sufficient enough to get started as each item can contain several
subtopics and it might be overwhelming. This guide is indented to provide more specific
references of the sub-topics as related to each of the keywords mentioned in the comments
section of the Hybris study guide.
2. You should also go through the trails to get an understanding of some of the implementation
related questions. Therefore, the related trails are also mentioned at the end of each chapter.
3. Apart from the experience from the actual exam questions, review questions are also included
for each section with some of them also influenced by Accenture's previous Hybris 5 study
guides and the internal Hybris Mock exam.
Other tips
1. Check you understanding:
o Exam contains multiple-choice questions but going through the review questions for each
topic might help to reinforce the concepts.
2. Finish the relevant trails associated
o Also it is good to review the summary from each trail when it is provided in the trail
documentation.
3. Mock exam:
o Take the mock exam based on 6.0 series from MyLearning to assess your understanding

Some may find the following order more intuitive than what is in the Hybris Wiki URL, as below and this
guide is based on this order:
o Platform basics
o Data modeling
o Platform features
o PCM Basics and Price Modeling
o User management
o Order management
o Search and Navigation
o Commerce Accelerator
o WCMS
o Backoffice and Cockpit Modifications

All the best!
