I find it easier to learn in a real classroom setting where you can ask questions of the teacher. Extend Reporting Modules within Administration Essentials for Experienced Adminsįor those newer to the Salesforce platform, you may want to take the instructor-led Building Applications with (DEV 401) course.If you have Premier Support, you have access to free online training via Help & Training and can take the self paced online training: Review the recommended training in the Platform App Builder Study Guide. Now that you’ve identified the areas you need to improve your knowledge in, it’s time to go and learn the concepts.

Let’s use business logic and process as the example.I identified that formula fields, roll-up summary fields and ramifications of field updates/potential recursion as areas where I need to boost my knowledge.ģ. For areas where I identified as strong areas, such as security and business logic and process automation, I then identified concepts under those objectives that I wasn’t as strong in. Once I reviewed the objectives above, I did a self assessment of where I thought I stood against each objective. Perform a Self Assessment on the Objectives and ID Areas Needing Knowledge Improvement But since I would only be asked 2-4 questions on each objective below, I didn’t spend a lot of time to know the ins and outs of each concept. I did not want to assume that I would get all the questions correct in the category below so I wanted to make sure I had some understanding of the lower weighted objectives.

The passing score is 63%, or 38 correctly answered questions.ġ. The Platform App Builder exam is a 90-minute exam of 60 single or multi-select questions. The Salesforce Platform App Builder certification is equivalent to the certified Developer credential. In June 2015, Salesforce University introduced the three new certifications: Salesforce Platform App Builder, Platform Developer I and Platform Developer II certifications, splitting the Developer track into declarative (clicks, no code) certification and 2 programmatic certifications. I also write a post to cover how I studied for the Advanced Administrator exam, you can read more about it here. This post covers how I studied for the Platform App Builder exam and the resources I used. I took my Platform App Builder and the Advanced Administrator Exams back-to-back on Saturday, January 16 and passed both! Yes!
