I'm working through the MTAs that may be relevant to me but I don't already have.
I just did MTA: 98-383 Intro to Programming using HTML and CSS. The minimum score was 70, I got an 88. I used the free HTML and CSS courses on the Mimo and Enki apps, the basic HTML and CSS sections at freecodecamp, and the w3schools HTML and CSS exercises. I felt very well prepared. The exam contains multiple-choice, true/false, matching, and similar types of questions. You don't have to write any actual code, but need to know the core rules of what goes where.
PearsonVUE has further improved since my last exams with them. They've now added a waiting list position indicator to the proctor waiting screen. Also, the proctoring approval turnaround is extremely fast. I received my Credly badge just thirty minutes after completing the exam!
The Credly/Acclaim badge I received is missing the ACE endorsement. The 2021 versions of the MTA Credly badges don't show the credit approvals, while the 2020 ones do. I've emailed ACE support about this, and hopefully they'll fix it soon. Their new procedure for missing endorsements on Credly/Acclaim badges is to email a copy of your transcript to credit@acenet.edu, and use the text boxes on the send transcript page to describe the issue and include the ACE course ID.
My next one will be Programming using Javascript. I've started using some of the same resource providers to prepare. After that, I'll pursue Database Fundamentals and try to get TESU credit via the CACE review. I may look at programming with python and/or java if I have time.
