Section: Process Automation and Logic Part 3 – PD1
Question 24 of 39 asks: “A developer has written the code below in an Apex class to process Account records. Which of the following is true about the variable named ‘acc’?”
Code Snippet:
for (variable: list_or_set) {
code_block
}
FocusOnForce has the Correct Answer as: ” The variable can be a list or set of account records.”
Maybe it’s just the way the question is worded but last time a checked you cannot call DML on a set collection, so how would a developer “PROCESS a set of account records”? You can have a set of Ids or primitives but you cannot call DML on a “set of SObject ” records such as Account. I know that exam question can be tricky but the keywords “process a set of account records” is misleading. I tested this hypothesis in my IDE of choice (i.e., IntelliJ) and the compiler throws an error: “.Compile failure on line 8, column 1: DML requires SObject or SObject list type: Set”

Hi Dave, thanks for the inquiry. It is true that a DML statement cannot be run against a Set collection such as as “update myCollection”. A List collection is required in this case. However, the usage of the term “process” in this question does not necessarily or exclusively mean performing a DML statement as it could also refer to other operations such as extracting record Ids, performing calculations, etc. We’ll have the question updated for clarity.
Many thanks Ian.
There is a grammatical error in the answers section of Developer Fundamentals Part 1 – PD1 on question 16 of 50 – What is a valid consideration regarding the development in a multi-tenant environment?
“Salesforce updates automatically (3) times a year and cannot be scheduled. No client software is required, apart from a browser, to access the internet. Sandboxes are upgraded prior to production environments so that the changes can be previewed and tested.”
Hi Dave, thanks for the feedback. Are you referring to the first sentence in the paragraph?

Is there a way to review answers from previously taken practice exams and topic exams? For instance, once completed, it gives you the option to review the questions. But if you navigate away from the page and come back, there doesn’t appear to be a way to access that option again. Is that correct? Thanks.
Hi Neil! Yes, you can review any previously taken exam by navigating to the “My Past Results” section of the platform.
Great, thanks!
