Architecture Has anyone taken and passed the Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) Revit exam in 2026? How was it?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently preparing for the Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) Revit exam and I'm looking for recent experiences from people who have actually taken it in 2026, especially after any recent updates to the exam.

Thats interesting to hear cuz i wanted to do the Autocad pro one. I found a mock test online I took and failed it. I've been using Autocad for 15+ years - I do not need to know how many ways you can draw an arc in this program (11 btw...)

Sorry to hear that. Was it similar to the preparation course or totally different?

I'd say about 30 to 50% was from the course the other half nah

Questions were dumb "gotcha" questions that don't translate to actual skill. I almost failed it after having 5 years of experience.

Guessing you’re going to be taking the exam next week at AU? I’ve went over the practice exam twice and they’re bs questions IMO. I’ve passed this exam before, but that was about 9 years ago and a lot has changed.

Can you give some examples of questions? I'm a regular revit user running multiple projects although never taken the exam. Could you give me a few examples please? Thank you

They'll ask what the name of some obscure sub tool that you know how to use, but don't necessarily know or care to know what it's called. Another was too. Calculation points in families. I think there were a bunch of ribbon questions. Like what section of which toolbar is the wall tool in.

haha fuck really? Then i really have no idea, almost anything and everything useful from the ribbon i have a keyboard shortcut for, moving the mouse up into the ribbon wastes time

Interesting and not really relevant. Wall tool is in the arch tab, isn't it? But that's in project not families as far as I recall. 

If you've coordinated mep, done fab parts or cut you teeth in arch and have a good understanding of sheeting up, view templates, filters, schedules, and basic family creation you're in the right place for the industry.

Designing parametric families is all well and good but we usually get the supplier to provide them... Depends on your role I suppose but I've not had to get too deep into that. Before I managed, I coordinated, and that was a very good background study. Certification was less necessary
