How do you prepare for the admin cert exam? I did the whole Udemy course, prep Trailhead trail, and was getting 80s-90s on the practice exams, and just bombed the real exam. How should I study?

Org setup - I would play around in an environment. It’s kind of like a video game. You’ll learn more by playing and messing around vs watching someone do it or reading a manual

like

SFDCStudy.org, sign up for an account, take the practice exams and you’ll be golden. Admin is pure memorization, the tests get harder as you go architect or consultant paths. GL

The user/help guides are probably more informative and helpful but way drier. How much do you want it?

Haha I have to get it, so I guess reading through docs it is

Based on the score report, which areas do you need to improve on? Were there any questions that were major curve balls?

Unsurprisingly, I did the best in the categories that were weighted the lowest. There were definitely curveballs - stuff I had never heard of like Content Delivery? And something about Lightning Attachments? I don’t know, I felt really comfortable and confident with all of the study material I had. I guess I must just have been missing a lot of content.

Download the study guide from certification.salesforce.com and bone up on the areas where you’re weak. From the looks of it, you’d probably benefit from some hands-on practice in those areas. And stay away from practice exams unless they’re from reputable sites. There’s a lot of inaccurate info out there. Good luck.

Hi all,

I need your advice and suggestions

I am looking to have my career into management consulting. I am a 2020 grad from VIT University and have around 2.5 years of job experience. Currently I'm working as a sector analyst and my job includes a lot of primary and secondary research and insight crunching. I am very sound in using all the ms applications along with a little knowledge of SQL.

Right now, I feel my job is kind of monotonous and I'm getting a feeling to move out...
