Hi Edgar! We have gotten your page comment in our Salesforce Certified App Builder Study Guide. We would like to congratulate you for passing the certification and we are glad to be of help to you. Kind comments from users like you keep us going!
Hey I am a bit confused with what you mean regarding the objectives naming.
Eg: exam questions salesforce fundamentals (objectives 1, 2) – app builder
Where can I find these objectives 1 and 2 ?
Thanks
Hi Hendrick, the Objective number corresponds to the sequence of each detailed objective in a section/category from the official exam guide.
Example: Salesforce Fundamentals (Objectives 1, 2) – App Builder
This topic exam should have questions from the following detailed objective under Salesforce Fundamentals:
– Given a scenario, identify the boundaries of declarative customization and the use cases for programmatic customization.
– Identify common scenarios for extending an org using the AppExchange.
The reason is that when you go to the official exam guide of App Builder – The detailed objectives mentioned above are the first and second on the list (1, 2). Hope this clarifies it.
Yves thanks!
