What struck me about this exam compared to the original Advanced Developer certification was that it felt like I was reading less code and evaluating more scenarios based on descriptions. For the first time, I had the proctor interrupt the exam to ask me to reposition my camera, which took a few attempts and consumed some time, taking me past the four hours in the end.
The ExamĪs always, the exam is proctored, either in person on on-line - I chose the on-line variant as I prefer to do exams from home. I also paid special attention to oauth and the mobile SDK. I made sure that I knew the order of execution like the back of my hand and the usual Apex best practice suspects of bulkification, the various aspects of unit tests and asynchronous mechanisms. I focused on the Visualforce, Apex and Lightning Developer’s Guides, plus a refresher on the latest versions of the metadata and SOAP API. The Study Guides from the Salesforce Certification site give chapter and verse on what you need to skill up on for the exam. Personally I take the view that its only worth providing feedback for questions that stand out, for both positive and negative reasons - saying that a question is fine doesn’t really add much or help the certification team. The basic premise is that you get more time so that you can give feedback on every question, although the fact that there are twice as many questions means that you have to be keep a close eye on the clock. Anyone who knows me knows I can’t resist a cert, so I jumped at the chance.Īs is the case for every beta I’ve taken part in, the beta is double the length of the regular exam both in terms of questions (120) and duration (4 hours).
Doing so breaches the test taker agreement and devalues the exam for everyone) IntroductionĪs a Certified Salesforce Advanced Developer, I was offered the chance to participate in the Platform Developer II Certification in July 2015. (As always with Certification blog posts, please don’t ask for answers or post actual questions in comments etc.
