Capgemini or Accenture?

Lateral hire.

Hey everyone,

I’m preparing for the Capgemini L1 assessment (Cloud + DevSecOps track), and my exam is scheduled for 5th May. I’ve been following a training syllabus that covers AWS, Azure, DevSecOps, scripting, Kubernetes, IaC, and cloud assessment topics.

Recently, I created a practice MCQ set in JSON format based on my syllabus. It includes both direct concept questions and some scenario-based ones. I wanted to get feedback from people who have actually given this exam or something similar.

Here’s a sample of the type of questions I’m practicing:

{
  "text": "An application running on EC2 needs secure access to S3 without storing credentials. What should you use?",
  "options": {
    "A": "IAM User with Access Keys",
    "B": "IAM Role attached to EC2",
    "C": "Hardcoded credentials",
    "D": "Security Group"
  }
}

And also slightly conceptual ones like:

{
  "text": "Which Kubernetes service exposes application externally?",
  "options": {
    "A": "ClusterIP",
    "B": "NodePort",
    "C": "Pod",
    "D": "ReplicaSet"
  }
}

My doubts:

1. How close are these questions to actual Capgemini L1 level?
2. Is the exam mostly direct MCQs or scenario-based?
3. Which topics carry the most weight? (IAM, VPC, DevSecOps, Kubernetes, etc.)
4. What difficulty level should I expect overall?
5. What score is generally considered safe to clear?

Also, if anyone has already given this exam, it would really help if you could share:

• Question patterns
• Important topics
• Any traps or tricky areas

I’m mainly focusing on concepts rather than deep coding, but not sure if that’s enough.

Any advice or real experience would help a lot 🙏
