This is a great point, and I agree with the shift.
The Genesys Cloud certifications seem to be moving more toward validating whether someone understands how the platform is actually used in real environments, not just whether they can memorize definitions or navigation paths.
That is a good thing overall, but it does change how people should prepare. The learning material is still important, but hands-on experience makes a big difference, especially around routing, queue configuration, Architect, WFM/WEM concepts, reporting, permissions, and troubleshooting.
For anyone newer to Genesys Cloud, I would recommend spending time in a sandbox or training org and actually building things: create users, queues, flows, schedules, scripts, data tables, reports, and routing scenarios. The more you understand why you would configure something a certain way, the easier the scenario-based questions become.
It is definitely becoming less of a "study and recall" exam and more of a practical validation of platform experience.
