Google & Meta Career Certificates Overview

An independent, unofficial study companion for three entry-level, self-paced professional certificates — not affiliated with or endorsed by Google, Meta, or Coursera.

Different from every other exam on this portal: these are not single proctored exams. Each is a self-paced, multi-course program hosted on Coursera, graded through per-course quizzes and hands-on projects rather than one cumulative final exam. No prior experience, coding background, or specific degree is required for any of the three — the real credential is only earned by completing the graded coursework on Coursera itself. This page is supplementary practice, not a replacement for the program.

What the Practice Quiz tab actually simulates

Since none of these three has an official proctored exam to replicate, the Practice Quiz tab uses a portal-defined 15-question, 15-minute format — a reasonable approximation of a typical in-course graded quiz, not an official Google/Meta/Coursera figure. Questions are pulled fresh and reshuffled each attempt from an original bank of several hundred practice questions per certificate.

A note on scoring

There is no published passing score to compare against, so this portal reports plain accuracy (percent correct) with no pass/fail claim — a study signal, not an official determination of readiness. Passing the real certificate requires completing each course's own graded quizzes and assignments directly on Coursera.
