Hi, I am about to take the PD I Cert in a couple of days. I am doing pretty well with FOF materials. I wonder if the real test has questions similar to those of FOF. Any feedback is appreciated.

Our questions are original, created by our in-house team of Salesforce-certified subject experts. While they are not the actual exam questions, they are designed to test your knowledge of each topic comprehensively.

Just passed my PD1! I would just like to say thank you to the guys at FocusOnForce, this course and the practice exams really helped in preparing for the exam.
Hi FOF Team ,
I want to say a big thank you to you all. I passed my PD1 exam on the first attempt some days ago.
The practice exams were a blessing. The main exam felt familiar because of the several hours spent continuously attempting the practice Exams. The Study guide was absolutely helpful in understanding the entire scope of the certification exam.
Keep up the amazing work.
My Advice to others is to think of the exams as a test of your ability to understand and use Salesforce to develop not just a test of your ability as a developer.
Passed today PD1 ;) And already am looking for the next one. PD2 or JS developer. Is there a resource to way see this in a systematic way?
And here is my takeaway:
– This resource and its community was fundamental for success, and actually i will keep using it to update myself, with or without exams. Thank you all!
– There are alot of trick questions, apparently trying to trick people with language twists, rather than establish their knowledge about Salesforce. examples are double negatives or hiding the question in a long convoluted sentence, where 90% of it means nothing to answer questions
– There should be support for Linux OS’s. Many developers use it as their main os, and have to borrow a computer just for the exam
Hello Luis, Congratulations on passing the PD1 Cert exam! ? We’re thrilled to hear that our resource and community played a fundamental role in your success. Your commitment to continuous learning is truly commendable!
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback regarding the exam questions and the need for Linux OS support.
Keep up the fantastic work, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance or support.
I successfully passed the exam and the course and practice question were really useful. I really like that even the practice exam questions have screenshots of the topic’s theory under them. Thank you very much!
Hi Gonzalo, Congratulations on passing the Platform Developer 1 exam! ? We’re delighted to hear that you found the course and practice exams useful, especially the screenshots of the theory. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing FoF!
Passed the exam today! And it’s my time to write the review. I’ll try to do my best to express my hones feelings and impressions after I’ve experienced the real exam and can compare questions.
But first of all, I want to thank you guys (who maintain and update this platform) for your effort to help us train ourselves towards the challenges SF certification exams pose on us.
Based on my personal experience I can say with confidence that the best value one can get out of this tests is the they prepare us to handle disgusting, un-logical, tricky and unprofessional questions that you may face during the real exam.
A lot of questions included in the training exams are weird, feel strange and unnecessary, but in the end they actually help you with the real exam, which questions are much worse. During the real exam, they don’t try to asses our developer knowledge and professionalism, they try to trick and fool us, to catch us, etc. My overall impression of the real exam is super bad. Very disappointing. Instead of directly and specifically testing knowledge regarding aspects of development and administration on the platform through clear, logical questions, they make tricky questions aimed to confuse and mislead. Many questions are structured in such a way that it is not clear what exactly they want from you. Sometimes is difficult to connect the question and answer options as it seems as if they are about different things. There was even a question where, as for me, there was no correct answer. In short, this is not how certification should go.
If I were to point the areas that must be improved, those are my thoughts:
1. No one trying to remember the exact names and positions of the UI elements regardless of what part of SF it is, etc, especially considering the fact that they are subject to change via SF official releases. Both this training course and real exam have a lot of question related to the weird names of various SF features that usually do not represent what they do. Thats just as disgusting as it is unprofessional. No one care of stupid “product” names of features.
2. Next good example is related to the fact that this course has a lot of questions related to the developer console and its contents. The issue here from my point of view is that a professional SF developer who is working on an enterprise project will use Developer Console extremely rarely, as it is not a real IDE or a tool that should be used for development in general, thus, a lot of questions regarding the exact names and position of various dev console elements, tabs, buttons, checkboxes are simply absurd. They created a false impression that dev console is the main dev tool of the sf developer which is absolutely not.
3. The idea of “manual low-code automation first” is incorrect at the fundamental layer. Because of it there are tons of badly structured/designed low code automation that leads to the breaks in code in production orgs.
Hello Viachaslau, Congratulations on passing your Platform Developer 1 exam! We appreciate your detailed feedback on your experience with the practice exams and the actual test. It’s great to hear that you found value in the practice exams in preparing for the challenges of the certification exam.
Your insights regarding the nature of the questions, especially the focus on tricky and misleading ones, are valuable. It’s understandable that you found some aspects frustrating and illogical. Your points about the areas that need improvement, such as the reliance on memorizing specific UI elements and the emphasis on the Developer Console, are well taken.
Your feedback will be helpful for us to review and update the materials to better reflect the real-world scenarios and make the preparation more targeted towards the actual skills and knowledge required for Salesforce certification. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and congratulations once again on your achievement!
