Hey friends!
I passed the Platform Developer 1 yesterday. Your study material was really important in my preparation for this exam. I recommend using the study guide and practice exams. Trust me when I say that the practice exams are really important!
Thanks again and I’m preparing now for App Builder certification!
Hi Christopher, awesome news, congrats on passing! We’re happy to hear that our course helped!
Your study guides and practice exams are by far the best study material I’ve come across. That said, the Detailed Objectives from the practice exam questions don’t align with the different sub-sections of the study guide. Reviewing content after taking a practice exam would be much easier if the Detail Objective used the same name/phrasing as the names/phrasing used for the different sections of the study guide.
Hi Dozier, we are happy to know that you are finding our materials helpful! Regarding your feedback, we split the questions randomly as a way to group questions into a reasonable number for each topic exam.
Hi FocusOnForce, What a brilliant compilation of material for the exam. I passed my PD1 exam yesterday and it wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi Yannick, glad you found the information useful and you passed!
Hey guys, I just wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to the immense amount of work you’ve done putting this course together. It was a monumental resource in my path to passing this exam, and I can (very happily) say that I succeeded in that goal today, on my first try. I would recommend the PD1 coursework and the practice exams associated with it from FoF any day of the week, given the success I personally had.
Thanks again.
