One more our consultant passed Salesforce.com Certified Admin Exam

Just Received the good news from my teammate, Kammy Lai, she passed her certified admin exam this morning!

What to expect for the exam
You can opt to take this exam online or in a classroom setting, both proctored. The exam consists of 60 multiple choice questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete it. The passing score is 65%, and you cannot use any reference material during the exam. Not sure where to begin when prepping for the exam?

These three tips for passing the Salesforce Certified Administrator Exam can help you get started. 

1. Find reliable study material.
Visit http://certification.salesforce.com/Administrators and download the free study guide. Look at the test outline and review each topic. If you don't know answers then look up the answers in Salesforce Learning Center and you will find the answer.

Some study guides that you can consider:
1. Salesforce Certification Exam Notes (Study Guides)
This note highlights things that you should need to know for this exam.
2. Salesforce Ben - Certified Administrator Quiz
Well-known Free Exam Quiz
3. Salesforce Ben - Certified Administrator Mock Exam
Well-known Free Exam Mock Exam
4. Sfdcstudy,org Study Notes
Its Admin study notes content is very good, broken out by exam objective. There is also access to quizzes and online games.

2. Create a developer org and practice.
Salesforce Trailhead is a great practice instrument, as it offers various exercise challenges and multiple modules. The great thing about Trailhead is that if you don’t complete the exercise correctly, it provides you with hints as to what you missed. I’d strongly recommend completing the Admin Beginner, Admin Intermediate, and CRM trails before taking the certification exam.


3. Give yourself enough time to study.
Studying for the exam is not something you want to do in one day or one week.  I would recommend budgeting at least one month to absorb the concepts discussed in each test section.  Allow for one hour per day to study and then increase the number of hours as you get closer to the test date.
