Advice
- I wont repeat the advice given by all the MVP's and other Salesforce experts,but I am pretty sure that you are going to be tested on the following topics ,infact a combination of these topics in the question . Hence ,please be thorough in your understanding about the topic and how it can correlate with other topics.
- Also ,make sure you know the relation of the objects to each other e.g. how is Opportunity related to Campaign or Lead or Account. Where does Contact Role show up etc. etc. This will surely help you in analyzing the answers given in the exam.
- 1 Hour 45 mins is more than sufficient for the exam. This gives about 1 min 45 sec for each question.
