So after I finished my Observability certification exam what's the the timeline to get results I know its written 4-7 business days but I have heard people getting them in 3-4 hours as its checked by using automated scripts.

I am worried because I finished the exam in 2hours and submitted it early.It could be just me being nervous for results.

Hello @Shary_chahal

Welcome to the community!!

As per my experience after the exam it will take minimum 2 working days to receive the result.

Don't worry the result will be positive 👍

Thanks!!

Hello @Shary_chahal

If it is still pending post 10 working days than it will be a good idea to drop an email to "[certification@elastic.co](mailto:certification@elastic.co)" with all the details.

Thanks!!
