I passed my App Builder exam! Thank you Focus On Force! The practice exam was very helpful.
Congratulations on clearing the exam, Kanchan! We are glad to know that our materials helped!
Passed my Admin back in February 2020. I want to get App Builder and Advanced Admin next. Which of the two should I aim for first? App Builder or Advanced Admin? And why?
It depends on your career path and what will be most useful for your work situation – advanced admin has more specialized and in-depth admin topics, and will be more useful if you will be doing a lot of admin work and you will use some of the more specialized topics like Territory Management. App Builder is more useful if you will be building new apps and enhancements, or are in interested to continue into programmatic development, as you should understand declarative development with app builder before proceeding to programmatic development e.g. Platform Developer 1.
Thank you for the course! Passed the test on the first attempt :)
Congratulations, Nicole! Cheers!
