I’ve been studying for my Salesforce Admin I certification since the summer. Currently, I’m on holiday break and making a final push to prepare for the exam, which I hope to schedule December 31st.

Study Goals

I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the material overall but still need to drill down into some of the details. To that end, I’m following an Admin course by Emily and Jeremy Call from start to finish. I’ve already taken Salesforce Ben and Focus on Force courses.

Much of the Calls’ course will be review, but there are two areas where I feel I’m weakest: Data and Analytics Management, and Workflow/Process Automation. These are two out of seven total sections on the exam, all of which are weighted by percentage.

With Salesforce cert prep in general, there is so much material to go through it’s important to approach it strategically. In this final leg of my cert prep journey, my strategy is to fill in gaps. I’m taking notes in each section as a refresher, reading through Salesforce documentation on topics that I’m least familiar with, and reviewing glossaries to create flash cards.

Planning to post about my progress each day until the exam.
