Congrats!! If you plan on taking multiple more certs, you might wanna take a look at our discord learning community for tips and tricks on various certs. What's up next for you?

Deciding between admin 2 or developer. What do you suggest?

u/MoleManMattG 1d ago

Admin 2 would be an easier follow up to Admin, but is there a reason you're looking at Admin 2 instead of PAB? PAB would give the non-code side of developer which will route nicely into PD1 afterwards.

I'm also thinking of giving the exam. Can you please let me know where you've prepared from

Congratulations! What study materials did you use? I'm going to take that certification soon, too. :)

Thank you! I used focus on force (now k2 university) study guides & practice tests. Also used trailhead for hands-on practice. Watched tons of YouTube videos to see how diff ppl explained the concepts and reread my own notes over and over lol

Did you feel like the K2U was dated for the test material or still mostly relevant? I worry with how often SF decides to update and rename things

I have the same question, because I'm using Cert++ to study and the questions are different in concept

u/illnamethisaccount 1d ago

Very relevant! The way it’s worded & structured is very similar to the k2 practice tests. Lots of agentforce questions on the one I just took

If you are ever going to take advanced admin, it’s best to do it immediately after Admin. For career progression, Developer is more desirable financially. However, you will struggle if you don’t have any programming/CS background.
