Tips to clear Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II Multiple Choice Exam

Many of you may aware of the new certifications from Salesforce after Summer’15. Please check this link for more information (here).

I want to share my experience in preparing for the Developer II exam. I recently cleared the exam on 5th of December 2015 (Developer II Transition Exam). You can get the study guide for the exam here, but I didn’t feel it is helpful for the preparation. Because, the questions are from everywhere, as you have covered most of it in Developer1 exam, you need to prepare more in depth for the Developer II.

The pass percentage is just 63%. Looks easy but the questions are very tricky. But, if you prepare well with the following topics then it will help you to clear at the first shot.

Here is what you have to prepare,

  1. Read about SOAP and REST implementation. Know about the limits. How to write the Test classes for SOAP and REST using the Mock classes.
  2. @InvocableMethod and @InvocableVariable
  3. Apex Governor Limits.
  4. Implement the Lightning Application in a new Dev Org. You can find Lightning pdf here. Understand the Lightning Component very well.
  5. Querying the PermissionSet.
  6. Apex Test class best practice.
  8. @testSetup considerations
  9. apex:chart
  10. Using Webservice keyword and considerations
  11. Querying based on the Currency field (Read here).
  12. Aggregate Queries
  13. Look into apex:actionSupport, apex:actionFunction, apex:actionPoller, apex:remoteObjects
  14. Automation Tools - Lighting ProcessBuilder, Flows, Workflow and Approval Process.
  15. Go through the Apex Language Reference PDF and VF PDF.

Also, there are many scenario based questions to test your knowledge to use the best practices.

Hope this helps to clear your Developer II exam. If you have any questions please comment below. I will get back to you.

All The Best!!

    Thanks for the tips. Question, is there a bit of an overlap from the Platform Developer I exam (similar type questions or scenarios)? Would you say the difficulty is on par with the Developer I?

    Hey Andrew, Developer I was completely different. It was simple and basic understanding of salesforce development. You can answer Developer II questions easily only if you have in depth knowledge in Salesforce development. Prepare very well based on the topics outlined above. You will clear the exam for sure.

    @Arun: Could you also provide your feedback in addition to the points here? (since you've taken the exam less than a week ago)
