Hey Bilal! This is a very great news to close out 2021. Congratulations on bagging the Admin certification. The whole FOF is happy for your achievement. Cheers!
I passed my SF exam first try last week! Would not have been possible without the practice exams and the study guides were honestly perfectly thorough. Exam questions are very on par if not harder than I thought of actual exam. Topic exams really helpful as well. I’d also recommend to anyone to use the practice exams frequently to find their own vulnerabilities. That was very helpful to me
Hermon, thank you for making us a part of your preparation efforts. We’re glad to know that you have passed the certification. What a way to end the year! CONGRATULATIONS!
Hi, I passed my Admin exam !!! Want to thank Martin and his team for the robust study guide and practice exam . Videos before each topic in the study guide were very helpful.

Now on to the next certification.

Please let me know how much % you scored in practise exams. I scored sometimes 70% and sometimes 75% and sometimes 80%…is it good to go for real exam. Please suggest.
If your scores are 80 plus then I suppose you are good to go. My scores were 85 plus .
