Did anyone else notice that the exam parameters changed a couple of days ago? Not gonna lie, I am taking my test on Wednesday and now I am kinda freaking out!!!

Just coming back to this conversation to say - I did it! Took 2x over 2 weeks. Going in and just taking it the first time was a confidence boost - could see a couple areas I was weak in. Don't be afraid to just go for it to get a feel for it. Both were new format and only 1 or 2 of the same questions. I had to use some contextual knowledge of having been on the platform for a long time for some of the questions. The UI questions are no joke - the answers are all very similar and with 1 or 2 slight differences. Focus on Force, hands on with Trailhead to build Lightning Components and VF pages and actually reading the developer guides was really helpful. The exam outline really does cover everything you need to know. There are no secrets there. What worked for me was using multiple ways of learning - reading, hands on, asking developer friends questions and how they use some of these in real world scenarios, watching webinars (check out Apex Hours!). It is not a linear path but I am here to tell you you CAN do it!
