Can you please comment how much has the syllabus changed for PD1? I heard more emphasis on Lightning compared to Visualforce now?
Hi Anand, Visualforce still plays a very big part in the exams basing on the exam guide. At the same time, we’ve also received feedback that lots of questions about Lightning components have appeared in the exams. We can’t recommend prioritizing one over the other. So, it’s best to be equally prepared on both topics.
I passed my PD1 exam yesterday :-)
Your Awesome material helped a lot.
Great news, Nirav! Congratulations on clearing the exam, cheers!

Hey guys – Thank you, I just cleared my certification. I would recommend the guide and the practice exam for anyone looking to get certified. I got this just 2 days before the exam very good refresher and the mock exams were great, wish I dropped here earlier.
Hi Dinesh, congrats on passing! We’re happy to hear that our materials helped!
This material was awesome. I recommend both the course and the practice exams for anyone who wishes to tackle the certification. The practice test cover some insight that you will need to know that may have not been highlighted in the course. So it is important you read the explanation of the answers and open the reference material links if you need further information. This was great!
Thank you alkarim. We highly appreciate your input and feedback!!
Hello Martin,
I have successfully passed PD1 exam today. Many thanks for the wonderful material! They were so very helpful. The actual questions were at a more tougher level. I was so scared all these years to take this exam just because of the huge volume of the prep materials. Your course diluted and simplified the whole learning process. All the credit goes to your course!
I highly recommend this course to anybody who plans to learn SFDC in general. The concepts has been explained so very nicely!
I will be enrolling in more courses very soon!!
Thanks to everyone in your team,
Thripura
