This article will cover how to pass the Salesforce Certified Community Cloud Consultant Certification Test.

I wrote near my general certification written report process in the Salesforce Ambassador Certification guide just will encompass it in-depth here as well.

A brief overview of the resources you lot'll want to use:

  1. Trailhead
  2. Quizlet
  3. Focus On Force
  4. Plural Sight
  5. Practical Guide to Salesforce Communities: Building, Enhancing, and Managing an Online Customs with Salesforce Community Cloud

Trailhead

Unfortunately there is no prebuilt Trailmix for this certification. In that location is a comprehensive Trail available hither that will hit the major topics: Customize Your Community At a mere 8 hours, this one will be a walk in the park when compared to some of the other, more all-encompassing, Trails.

The reason for doing the Trailhead is to get hands-on feel. Hands-on feel is critical for examination prep because information technology's the only way to get the absolutely essential Experiential Learning nosotros need to pass the exam.

When nosotros're studying flashcards and going through exam courses, we need to be able to hang the material on a latticework of real-life examples – and the best versions of those examples can be found in Trailhead.

Quizlet

Quizlet is an excellent fashion to prep for the Exam. Look for exam-like questions and run through about 250 of them (roughly 4 sets of 60 questions) repeatedly.

I have a theory that people who take Exams from home sometimes tape their screens and put the questions they saw in their Exam on the cyberspace, which find their way to Quizlet.

Conspicuously, this is Not what Salesforce intended and massively contributes to Certification Inflation. Salesforce combats this inflation by periodically reviewing the exams and making the questions more difficult. which I fully endorse (and if you value your Certifications, yous should too). If you study only one set of Flashcards with the want to memorize 60 questions and laissez passer the test, y'all will definitely neglect.

The approach I took was slightly more holistic, though it is intense. Go through the sets repeatedly until y'all know the answers to everything. You will find discrepancies in some of the answers to the questions between flashcard sets – THAT'S OK. For many of the questions, the answers ARE the same across sets – then you know that cloth is solid. By noticing that certain questions across sets take dissimilar answers YOU ARE LEARNING. Take those discrepancies and look up the answers in the Salesforce Documentation to be certain you accept the correct info.

Now, even if Salesforce has changed the test questions, the concepts will exist pounded in better. Since you were hanging this theoretical knowledge on the feel you got from Trailhead, you're guaranteed a deep, robust knowledge.

Hither are links to a few examples Flashcard sets:

In that location are roughly 180 questions here and that is more than enough to become started. Be aware that some of the questions volition reference retired features and realize which ones yous tin skip.

Focus on Force

Past far and away the best "paid" resources available are on Focus on Force. The Community Deject Report Guide is a compilation of everything y'all demand to know to pass the exam – complete with the most concise and well-documented (links included) text and images – broken down by Exam Section. Cost is $nineteen.

The Salesforce Community Cloud Certification Exercise Exams are a goldmine of test-like questions, with the bonus of every answer existence correct & up-to-engagement – AND they are 100% generated by the Focus on Forcefulness team, significant no ethical gray lines to worry well-nigh. Be warned, the exams are TOUGH. Don't be afraid though,that's what you desire.You desire to study a TOUGH exam, that you can cheque the answers on, so when y'all sit for the bodily examyou pass hands. Price $19.

If you're on the contend most getting both and then just go the Practice Exams. Repeat them over and over until you know all the questions similar the back of your hand and you lot will laissez passer.

three. Article Types, Setting upwards Articles
4. Sharing Sets, Sharing in Full general
5. This Reddit thread discusses passing the examination.

My last tip is this, Y'all MUST BUILD A COMMUNITY. Don't try to pass this exam based on theory or studying alone. Build a community in Trailhead and in a Dev org and click EVERY button yous see to sympathise what it does.

Closing Thoughts

You now have a plan and you're fix to get! Let's recap:

  1. Go through Trailhead to build the foundation of real-world experience needed to grasp all the concepts.
  2. Run through Quizlet repeatedly to go a feel for exam-like questions.
  3. Purchase Focus on Force report guide or do exams for actress help.
  4. Lookout man videos on Plural Sight.
  5. Read that volume.
  6. Build an actual community and click all the buttons.
