Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® 3 Photography is an official Adobe certification exam, listed under the code 9A0-159. Clearing it earns the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) - Photoshop Lightroom 3 certification, a Expert-level credential. It also ties into Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Lightroom 2, Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop, which makes it a useful anchor for a longer certification plan. For employers, the value is simple: the vendor itself has verified what you know.

You will work through 55-60 questions in 90 minutes on the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® 3 Photography exam. The content is only half the battle; the clock is the other half. Train both at once: set the PrepAwayTest test engine to full timed mode, practice skipping and returning to stubborn items, and repeat until finishing with minutes to spare feels normal rather than lucky.

Passing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® 3 Photography requires 70% (550 on 300-700 scale), and the official registration fee is $180 USD. Remember that a retake bills the same $180 USD all over again, so winging it is the most expensive strategy on the table. A better approach: benchmark yourself with the PrepAwayTest practice tests first, and schedule the real exam only once your scores sit comfortably and consistently above the requirement.

No formal prerequisites; recommended hands-on experience with Lightroom 3

Requirements do evolve, so before you spend a registration fee, verify the current conditions on the official exam page.
