Salesforce certification | WHAT ARE THE EXAMS LIKE?

Here is my first hand experience on each of the exams I’ve taken and passed:

Administrator

This one is by far the hardest exam I took. It was the most comprehensive and had the most unique scenarios. I can’t stress enough the idea of “failing first” with this exam.

Sales Cloud Consultant

If you watched the training videos or have worked as a salesforce.com consultant at all, most of this will come naturally to you. It was also very helpful to see the agile project management philosophy so clearly articulated.

Service Cloud Consultant

More difficult that than the Sales Cloud Consultant because I had not done a Service Cloud implementation prior to taking the first exam. Between the first and second exam, I did a Service Cloud implementation which gave me exposure to Cases, Knowledge and Customer Community.

Developer

This exam was a joke. Not only were there 5 questions about parent-child relationships, but your LinkedIn account gets flooded with terrible job offers from companies looking for “developers.”

Pardot

10-15 of the question came from the Pardot knowledge base, not from the videos. I found a website that had all of the exam objectives and notes for all of those different subjects. I was shocked when I did not pass the exam the second time.

Marketing Cloud Email Specialist

This exam seemed much easier than Pardot. It seemed much more common sense around questions with opting out of emails and workflows. Honestly, I was surprised I passed it with no actual experience.
