I just took the Exam and this overview is excellent, for someone who is starting and feeling lost, this video and his videos on the 7 units are absolutely recommend by me. Thank u for sharing your knowledge

[@salesforcenow]

Thank you! Congrats on passing!

[@kimsuitt6128]

A fantastic overview of the Salesforce Certification Exam process. For anyone considering Salesforce as a career pivot, this provides some great strategies for success. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@salesforcenow]

Thank you! I'm glad you've found it helpful. Hoping to share this info with anyone considering taking the exam.

[@olenabarylova1592]

I completely agree

[@SasidharReddy-fs3xe]

Ryan, thank you for putting lot of valuable insights and learning into these videos. They really helped me get over the finish line for Admin certification a week back. Really appreciate it !!

[@salesforcenow]

Congrats!

[@infinitygains1395]

Big thanks man your videos are awesome just nailed the exam, looking forward to more content!

[@salesforcenow]

Well done! Congrats!

[@AmandineLaurent-w3e]

Really helpful. I failed my first attempt (completed a whole bunch of trailhead modules and superbadges, and practice exams) so I am going to spend a bunch of hours before I take the certification again I’ve been watching your videos and they’re REALLY helpful as I found that my issue was to understand the concept during the exam vs memorizing the answers. Tysm!!

[@salesforcenow]

It is incredibly important to understand the concept well via doing it yourself. Build, build, build. Best of luck on your next attempt! Let me know if there is anything in particular you need help with.

[@TusharGoel.29]

Hey Ryan! I just passed the Admin exam a couple of days back. Your content on this video is highly accurate when it comes to the key topics that were covered in the exam. Conceptually if somebody is clear on the topics you've highlighted, exam should be just fine! Thanks!

[@salesforcenow]

Congrats on passing the exam! I'm glad to know that my video is on target with the test - I appreciate the feedback!

@@salesforcenow Thank you! I really hope if you could make a similar video or share some insights on Sales Cloud Consultant exam. I plan to give that in a few weeks.

[@salesforcenow]

I wish I could! I'm also sitting in on the Sales Cloud exam next month so it's doubtful that I'll have videos ready for that time. But best of luck on it and I'd love to hear how it goes for you!

[@aybello282]

Hey Man, I really like your channel and its content. I love how articulate and straight to the point you are. I am new to salesforce and I am considering a career in business analysis/business intelligence. I recently discovered salesforce as a career and I am considering pursuing it. Do you think in 2023 it is still worth it?

[@salesforcenow]

I do think that it can be a great career for those who are continuous learners and love to solve complex problems. I'd recommend going through Trailhead and building out a developer org to see if you like processes and tinkering.

[@aybello282]

@@salesforcenow Thank you for replying to my comment. I appreciate it. I was considering doing the admin certifications first then decide whether to purse the architect or developer pathway. I live in Canada that's why I am asking if salesforce is still in demand.

[@salesforcenow]

I believe the demand is still there. Certifications shouldn't be the end goal, but they do help you structure your Salesforce learning. Seems like you have thought this through!

[@aanuoluwasoetan20]

thanks Ryan. taking my exams soon. I'll be back to let you know when I pass!!!

[@applepeel1662]

Great video! Im a BDR at a tech company and will be soon closing in onto 1 year. I'm looking to pivot out of inside sales rn and have been using salesforce throughout my time. Would it be possible for me to get these certifications?

[@salesforcenow]

That's an absolute possibility! I'm not going to promise that it is an easy feat to get this certification with only user experience, but it will help you as you have a foundation for Salesforce navigation and commonly used objects.

[@briangapud4147]

Great video and presentation! Thank you!

[@pragneshkarri6920]

pls explain in certification exams ,who is ursa major solar and what is universal containers e.t.c.,

[@salesforcenow]

I'm not sure I understand the comment. Those names are fake companies that Salesforce uses on the exams. The purpose of studying is to understand the topics well enough to answer scenario based questions (using the fake companies in the scenarios).

[@aluminumfoil770]

Salesforce has announced layoffs. What’s the likelihood of getting a job with the basic admin certification?

[@salesforcenow]

The probability of getting a job with a basic admin certification is never high - the certification shouldn't be the end goal. If you obtain the certification and couple that with the ability to demonstrate your learnings via a demo org, complete project work (volunteer, on your own, or as a freelancer), and build your network, then you have a higher likelihood of getting a job.

[@ourmillionairemindset]

thank you

[@Martysmarch]

thanks

[@EmileeKraemer]

How long would you feel it would take for an experience software engineer to use the Trailhead mix to study and understand the concepts for the exam? Also, the engineer has full time to study for it. Asking for a friend 👀

[@salesforcenow]

Hmmm, good question. If you're familiar with software and understand development/configuration practices, I think you have a great foundation to leap into Salesforce. I wouldn't be able to give any sort of timeline as that is highly dependent on your friend's work/study commitment - but I've heard of similar individuals with that background that felt confident after a few months time studying (trailhead, building in a free developer org, practice tests, etc) part-time.

[@connorhennessy9354]

Do you recommend completing entire trailhead prior to exam?

[@salesforcenow]

I would recommend it if you are new to Salesforce.

[@connorhennessy9354]

@@salesforcenow im relatively new admin-sided I suppose. But through my company I've been using salesforce on the business side for close to 5 years.

[@salesforcenow]

User experience and admin experience is quite different. I'd still recommend you go through the trailhead. User experience will definitely help you as you likely have a good foundational knowledge on reports and objects. I also came from the business side before transitioning to an admin path.

[@aracelimalone1167]

Ok and after we pass. its impossible finding a place to work without Experience

[@salesforcenow]

There is no easy answer to that. Experience can be gained via building demo orgs, volunteer experience, and group projects. Try not to limit experience to being paid as that is very hard to come by initially.

[@HurriaAkhtar]

I am working as a CRM Ops specialist for 1 year now, and have no tech background. How can I determine which SF certification is a right choice for me to expand my career choices. I plan of becoming an administrator but sometimes it feels like it is too early to do that. Can anyone pls guide.

[@salesforcenow]

The Salesforce Admin certification will be the best baseline knowledge for you to obtain. There is also an Associate exam that I've heard is helpful if you aren't familiar with Salesforce as a user. But the Admin exam is typically first in anyone's journey as it helps establish the structure of Salesforce with objects and fields.

[@MuddasirHussain-j4y]

Is it true that in every release they choose 65 questions from 175 questions they decided for new release?

[@salesforcenow]

That's correct. 5 of the 65 are not graded on the test however. But I would set your aim higher than simply passing the exam. If you aim to master the concepts, you will be valuable admin - passing the exam will come in the process.
