    Congrats on passing @Janet Elliott!!! Thats awesome and thanks for following up. I guess I need to study extra hard to make sure I am comfortable answering the UI type of questions. Were they UI diff between Aura, VF and LWC...maybe some SLDS?

    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!

Hello, Has anyone had a chance to complete Platform Developer I Certification Maintenance  module for Winter '20 ?

I am having hard time with the second submodule Hands-on Challenge, Based on the question I have create a Lightning web component with name 'myComponent' and also added a lightning card to this component. However when trying to add a new custom tab to this component, I am unable to see the 'Lightning component tabs' related list under setup> 'Tabs' section. Not sure if I am missing anything, appreciate any help. Thanks !

    I am doing it in trailhead and have installed the package as well. But when I check the challenge it does not recognize the connector component.

Found this flash card in the "Study for the Platform Developer I Exam" Trail on Trailhead.

 

Can anyone explain it to me?

 

I thought it should be false and I am having a hard time finding documentation for it.

Leaving to take the Exam now.  If you are a praying person, please lift me up.  I think I know my stuff, but I'm nervous.

 

I'll let you know how I did.
