    I will take the exam next friday and i´m using this course to study. The practice questions from this course are on the same level of difficulty as the exam?

    1. Sara Samonte

      It seems like the answer to that is subjective based on the varying feedback on the forums. Check out the thread for those who passed the exams for tips!

        hey, if im getting the average score in the test exams practive, is it good ? or it’s not ennouh to take the real test?

        1. Martin Gessner Post author

          I suggest that you concentrate more on if you really understand the topics and why the answers are correct and incorrect, instead of focussing on the actual scores. While the scores can give a general indication, it is better to rely on your confidence in if you understand the topics thoroughly.

    With the Force.com IDE getting retired, will there be many questions on the exam about it’s functionality, etc?

    1. Martin Gessner Post author

      It is still listed as an exam objective, so it is possible that you will get a question, I would not expect many.

    Took the course. Passed the Exam. There were no Heroku questions, but some question-subjects that could be added here. Really know the Order of Execution inside and out – I used a mnemonic device to remember it. Knowing what components the Metadata API is helpful too.

    1. Meredith Ready

      Which mnemonic device did you use to memorize order of execution?

          hey, a have a qst plz, i’m about passing Dev1 , after taking this courses, in the exam, i will find these question son the test or totally new questions?

  6. Tejkaran Singh Anand

    I cleared PD1 exam about 10 days ago. Being a newbie to salesforce and having about 1.5 years of full-stack software development experience I could pickup Apex and visualforce quickly. I learned all the fundamentals from the trailhead and took up Focusonforce for mock tests. The questions here were totally relatable to one that appeared in the exam. Almost 80% of the questions were similar with different values/scenarios.

    1. Zrna Anicic

      Hi Tejkaran,

      It’s great to hear that you passed PD1 and that our materials helped.

  7. Larry Spackman

    Just passed my exam today, but not a single question from the question bank in this course was actually present on my exam. I went through every question except the “Testing” and “Debug and Deployment Tools” topic exams, and every single question on my actual exam was different.

    I think the actual cert exam was recently changed or I misunderstood this course. Memorizing the questions and answers in this course is not a valid strategy for passing the actual exam.

    1. Martin Gessner Post author

      Hi Larry, you should not expect that any of the questions will be the same, our questions are practice questions designed for learning. We definitely do not recommend memorizing the questions and answers, we suggest that you use them to identify the areas that you know well and those that you need to learn more about.

    Notes:What are the recommended tools for deploying metadata from one environment to another?

      Please use the Provide Feedback button on the question itself so we know where exactly you are referring to.

    Passed my Dev 1 yesterday at the close of DX ’19. Focus on Force was key in getting me up to speed in just 3 weeks of hard study. It was close but I got it. Every week you can give yourself and spend in the documentation is key. The fact that there is linked documentation for every question is worth its weight in gold. To be clear it’s not mastering the practice tests that will get you to where you need to be but rather allowing the practice exams to expose your knowledge gaps and then filling those by reviewing the documentation.

    Just passed my PDI certification at TrailheaDX. I used a combination of the study guide and the practice exams. Make sure you have a good understanding of object relationships and when/how to use them. A bulk of my study time was spent in the logic and automation sections followed by the testing, and debug and deployment sections. Great material here !
