Hi Nick, congrats on passing the exam. It’s great to hear that our materials helped!
I failed Twice :(
Hi jumeol, PD2 has one of the most challenging exams. I advise you to focus on the areas where you have the lowest points in, and more importantly master the topics that have the highest score percentages such as Logic and Process Automation and User Interface.
I passed the developer 2 today.Thank you for the questions.
Hello wangshijie0216, Congratulations on passing the certification exam. We are happy that our materials helped!
I passed the exam yesterday with confidence. Thanks to FocusOnForce, I was able to click on “submit exam” without any anxiety.
Congratulations on clearing the exam, Thomy! I have passed on your feedback to our team who works hard on keeping the materials updated :)
I passed the exam. FocusOnForce was a good prep but don’t assume if you can answer all the questions, you’ll pass.
In general, this is the most poorly designed exam I’ve taken from SFDC ( I’ve taken 6 others).
Most of the questions are poorly constructed and leave you guessing/assumptions.
Congratulations on passing the exam, Jon! We are glad to hear our materials helped despite what you said about the actual exam.
I am preparing for PDII. There are several questions on LWC that is not mentioned in the exam guide (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/help?article=Salesforce-Certified-Platform-Developer-II-Exam-Guide). Are there really the LWC questions?
LWC is mentioned twice in the exam guide:
– Identify how an Apex method can be made available for use by Lightning Web Components.
– Given requirements and code snippets for a Lightning Web Component and its Apex controller class, determine necessary changes to the Apex class.
I have cleared today my PDII MCE from the first attempt. Most stressful were code snippets. There were a number of them. Be prepared for the code snippets folks. Many thanks, to FocousOnForce for good background materials. Though there mostly were no similarities between Exam Q Bank and actual exam questions (which is a good sign for me) I have received good training on FoF and increased my Salesforce knowledge. That was the toughest exam so far. I’ve been unsure about results until the very last moment of exam. Now I am going to the Communities exam. Does FoF have anything for me?
Hi Maxim, congrats on passing the exam, and for sharing useful info to us and other users.
Regarding Community Cloud, yes, we offer both Study Guide and practice exams.

Just a heads up that the weighting for the PDII exam seems to have changed from what is shown in FoF: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/help?article=Salesforce-Certified-Platform-Developer-II-Exam-Guide
Salesforce Fundamentals: 8%
Data Modeling and Management: 5%
Logic and Process Automation: 20%
User Interface: 20%
Performance: 15%
Integration: 14%
Testing: 13%
Debug and Deployment Tools: 5%
I’ve been going through all the topic related exams and want to thank you for the hard work going into the updated questions. My exam is on Monday and I’m feeling fairly confident after all your work. Thank you!
Hi Nick, thanks for noticing this. We will update the percentages. Good luck on the exam!
Thank you!
Update: I passed the SU19 MCE! If anyone is interested here are some topics and tips that would’ve helped with my questions:
1) My #1 Study tool was Focus on Force which continues to be the best resource I can find. Go through each topic exam like a bajillion times to deeply learn it all.
2) As another commentor above, Max, mentioned there are a ton of code snippets on the exam including Aura components, regular Apex triggers, normal Apex Classes, Apex Test Classes, @AuraEnabled Apex Classes, and Visualforce. I personally didn’t see any LWC but study that too just in case. Know how to use the SLDS and Lightning Layouts to support Mobile and Desktop. Know how to create and use Design Attributes.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_config_for_flow_tips_attributes.htm
3) Understand asynchronous processing. Know when to use the Bulk API, know which situations to use @future in, know when to use Queuable Apex, know when to use Lazy Loading. Understand @InvocableMethod and when it is proper to use process builder to call Apex.
4) Know what kinds of data can be returned from a Server-Side controller. Understand how server-side code must be created (static, etc.) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/controllers_server_apex_returning_data.htm
https://developer.salesforce.com/blog/s/2017/09/error-handling-best-practices-lightning-apex.html
5) Know the difference between Javascript Remoting and Remote Objects
6) Understand how to use relationship queries https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.soql_sosl.meta/soql_sosl/sforce_api_calls_soql_relationships_query_using.htm#sforce_api_calls_soql_relationships_query_using
7) Be extremely comfortable with Apex Code Best Practices https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Apex_Code_Best_Practices
8) Know what the DML Record Processing transaction limits and Maximum Trigger Depth Limits are
9) Know the difference, and when to use, REST and SOAP web service operations. Know what each HTTP Method annotation does. Understand the difference and when to use REST and SOAP callouts. Understand common ways to solve for API usage problems. Know how to use them to process only one record at a time. I got a ton of questions about this. https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/apex_integration_services
10) Know EXACTLY what an External Id is, know why to mark it Unique, know exactly how to use the “upsert” DML statement with an External Id.
11) Understand how to use Savepoints with try/catch code blocks. Understand how to do a partial insert with Database.Insert().
12) Know what Hierarchy Custom Settings are used for.
13) Know all the possible ways a TestDataFactory class is helpful, know how to use Test.StartTest and Test.StopTest, whether Test.SetMock comes before or after the callout.
14) Know how to display messages in Visualforce. Understand what is.
15) Know when to use declarative vs programmatic tools.
There was more but I forgot… Best of luck to you all! :)
Hi Nick, that’s awesome news! Congrats on passing and thanks for the nice words about our course, and for sharing the tips.
Thanks Nick, your advice has helped me a lot to pass this exam :).
Hi Nick, thanks a lot. I must say that your advice has helped me a lot. Once again, thanks!!!
Hi, I am planning to take the exam in a couple of months. Are the practice exams updated?
We have added questions for the new exam objectives to the topic exams and question bank, we are in the process of adjusting the practice exam questions to remove the questions related to the old objectives and adding the questions for the new objectives.
Thanks for the update Martin!
Would you be able to post here when the update is complete?
We are working on only 2 more sections which will be done before the month ends.
I have my exam next week. What is the status of this course, is it updated?
Hi, thanks for your interest in our course. The update is still in process, but all retired content is removed and some new topics are added. We expect that we’ll be done with all updates within the week od two.
