Finally took and passed the exam!! I don't know why I stressed so long! I quizzed with @Hanh Hoang and purchased a package of 5 practice exams from Udemy by Priscilla Hong (Salesforce Admin 201 Practice Test【300 Questions】Spring'2021)

For the practice exam, do we have to take the practice exam on the same day we registered and use our voucher?  Or can we take it any time?  Sorry I'm finally getting back to the swing of studying for the Cert exam.

    No. you can register for the exam at a certain time, then reschedule and attend it at any time you feel good, just check if it is still available because sometimes it is fully booked. and you do not really need to take the practice exam if you feel good, you can take the real exam if you full confidence in it.

Hi everyone, Happy New Year 2021! Just wanted to let you all know that I passed the SF Admin ADM WI21 exam today. I found Katrins additional material very helpful. I also purchased Udemy Salesforce Admin 201 Practice Test【300 Questions】Winter'2020 by Priscilla Hong which was very helpful and resembled the actual exam a lot. I retook these practice tests over and over again till I got at least 95%. Thank you to all trailblazers who shared their success stories and helped me to stay focused in preparing for this exam and so thought would do my part of giving back to the community! 

 

Hope this helps for any future test takers and all the best!

Hi, I wanted to let y'all know that I passed the certification exam on Dec 23rd. I took the practice exam in early December and I reached to Katrin with my score. She provided me links to various areas that I needed to focus on.  I revised the materials that she shared a couple of times.

 

Based on advise from this community, I purchased the Salesforce admin practice exams by Mike Wheeler on Udemy (3 exams for $17) and took a fourth practice exam in focusonforce. The additional material shared by Katrin was pivotal in me passing the examination. Am looking forward to participating in the Non-profit program and continue into service cloud certification in 2021. Wishing y'all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!

I actually just purchased the practice exams from Focus on Force for $19 and I have been running through those and taking notes etc. I really like their format and I have heard good things. I take the exam this Thursday so I will let you know how it goes:)

    @Jael Jones I second the value of FOF...best $19 ever. I took all the practice tests, found my average of each section, and multiplied that by the weight of each section in the exam to focus my study efforts. FOF also has practice exams broken up by section which was invaluable. I passed the exam in the end, but I must say it was more difficult than the FOF practice exams.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know I passed the certification exam on Nov 29. I'm beyond happy and hope to continue learning more and more. Any success stories anyone else would like to share?

    I took the practice exam on Nov 9 and got 63% in it. I opened a case and shared my results with Katrin. She sent me an email with a bunch of links to videos, articles, projects, modules, etc. I focused on the areas I didn't do so well in the practice exam. For me it was also very helpful to take more practice exams online (Mike Wheeler on Udemy, http://sfdcstudy.org/quizzes/, etc) especially those that explained the answers. When I started getting 80% on these practice exams I decided to sit for the exam even though I still felt a bit overwhelmed with the amount of content and the feeling I wasn't 100% prepared. I took the exam on Nov 29 and got 81,5%. I would have been happy with 66% lol!

Has anyone else attended the Certification Days Preparation for Your Administrator Certification (CDW-101) webinar? I just finished up with it.

    I also attended it and thought it was good for me to have a good overview of all the things on the certification exam.

There is a pretty nice chart for you to plan your future.

I personally will choose the platform app builder cert as my next target.

Anyone come across or develop their own study schedule after the boot camp ends? I feel like I want to take the test in January, but I kind of need to structure my time in some way and haven't honestly figured out the best way to tackle because of all the resources from this class, Trailhead and then I also got the FocusontheForce study guide. Let me know your thoughts!

    There has been much discussion about this in one of the Salesforce groups I'm in on Facebook. I really need to discipline myself now that the course is over to stay focused. Have you done the practice test yet?
