Before taking the Final Cut Pro 6 Level 1 exam last week, I searched the web for some tips on taking the test. There wasn’t much to be found either because of the non-disclosure you acknowledge before the test or because not many editors bother with the exam.

If, like me, you’re new to editing, read the book from Peachpit Press and follow along in Final Cut Pro. Read the book again and explore the interface, knowing what icons do what and the common shortcut keys. The level one exam is about “basic editing” as my course proctor offered.

Experienced Final Cut Pro editors can probably fly through the exam but as with any certification exam, the training course or book might cover less familiar topics or procedures.

It’s a challenging (but not impossible) test and if you’re committed to reading the book, reviewing, and exploring Final Cut Pro, you’ll do fine.
