I just want to say THANK YOU for putting all the time and effort into this study guide.
I always love Focus on Force! Just got this one today, so wish me luck. I’ve been doing a lot on Trailhead, but most of it I knew simply from doing the Admin and App Builder, so I moved over here to begin the study guide. Goal is to be certified by December!
Hi Nicholas, thank you for sharing your feedback, good luck on your exam! Happy learning!

Congratulations on clearing the exam, Sébastien! The whole team is happy to know that we are able to help! Cheers!
Enterprise Territory Management is covered in Solution Design III yet there are questions on it in the practice exam for Solution Design I. Easy enough to come back to it after going through III but just thought I’d mention for the sake of sequencing.
Hi Janet,
We did not intend the 3 parts of the study guide to correspond to the 3 parts of the exams. However, we understand how it can look that way. We will make it clear in the exams.
passed the exam with the material! Thank you Best Regards Andreas

Hello,
i yesterday passed my exam. Once again THANKS to the great material from focusonforce.
But as Martin already mentioned in several posts, studying this material is not enough. It is a combination of trailhead, help.salesforce.com and study guide + Exams.
I made the experience that you should have at least 80% in the practise exams to pass the real exam.
