You are correct. However, the tests are reviewed. I think it might be pretty obvious if someone comes back 30 min later and changes a bunch of incorrect answers to the correct answer.

You will get a certificate displayed on your profile and at a specific URL that you could add to LinkedIn for example.

You will also gain the knowledge that you have the skills to pass an exam. This could help with a certain amount of self-doubt or imposter syndrome.

There is a FAQ at the end of this post that you might find informative.

No. Please read the FAQ, that’s what it’s for

[https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/freecodecamps-new-responsive-web-design-certification-is-now-live/](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/freecodecamps-new-responsive-web-design-certification-is-now-live/)

> What happens if I fail the exam? Can I retake it?

> Yes. You get one exam attempt per week. After you attempt an exam, there is a one-week (exactly 168 hour) “cool-down” period where you cannot take any freeCodeCamp exams. This is to encourage you to study and to pace yourself.

> There is no limit to the number of times you can take an exam. So if you fail, study more, practice your skills more, then try again the following week.

I just received my certificate today; I did have the legacy one already, so is this one considered more official since it I passed the exam, which was not available before?

They are both official, one is just old and one is new.

Generally I think a more recent certification is better than an older one which might be outdated.

It’s just a certification though. You can prove what you know by using your skills and knowledge to build unique and impressive personal projects. The longer term the better.

Make effort so that Android and iOS users can access the exam kindly.

Hi freeCodeCamp team,

I completed the Responsive Web Design Certification Exam,  
but my result has been stuck on “Pending” for more than 72 hours.

Exam time:  
23:56:15 GMT+0700 (Western Indonesia Time)

I did not regenerate the exam token.  
Could you please help check my exam status?

Thank you.
