Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Advanced Developer – Certification

For people who have the desire to be advanced developers, this is the right opportunity. Force.com in partnership with Salesforce.com, offers advanced developers certification exams that will set you on a different level from your peers and will draw you closer to the attainment of your set goals and objectives as an advanced developer.

The nature of the exam is in three folds. The first option is the essay exam, the second type of question is the programming assignment, and the last ones are the multiple-choice exams. In order to meet the requirements of the examination and also to get you the advanced developers’certificate from Salesforce, you need to go through each of the three steps successfully.

Once you finish going through one component of the exam, you will automatically be redirected to the next component such that you can complete these three steps with ease. It is very important to educate prospective candidates on the embodiments within each step so as to make them familiarize themselves very well with the nature of the exam and pass it successfully.

As far as the multiple-choice segment is concerned, candidates would be required to attempt sixty-nine questions. The total allocated time for the answering of these questions is 120 minutes, and this means that the candidates have to work with both speed and accuracy at the same time.

The pass score for the multiple-choice questions is 73%, and this only means that candidates who are able to pass through have really tried and tested, and have proven beyond all reasonable doubts that they deserve to pass out.

As far as the registration is concerned, all candidates will be charged a registration fee of $400 and a retake fee of $200. At Salesforce, independent work is the hallmark, and they hold the policy that each and every candidate who passes the exam has to do so based on his or her own merits and not on any dubious means.

As such, it is not allowed to look through any material in the course of the examination as it is a very serious offence to do so. The prerequisite is that the prospective candidate has to be a Salesforce.com certified developer before he or she can partake in the advanced certificate exams.

The programming assignment takes into consideration the programmatic components through the use of Apex and Virtualforce. According to the programming assignment they are submitting, candidates would be asked to answer between three and five questions.
