• declarative data modeling
• process automation with Flow
• Lightning page configuration
• data import and management
• change set deployment
• validation rules and formulas
• record types and business processes

• Salesforce Platform Administrator or equivalent hands-on experience
• At least six months working with custom objects and flows
• Trailhead Platform App Builder trail completion

The exam requires constant switching between five domains, and scenario questions often combine data modeling with process automation and user interface decisions. Candidates must identify the best declarative option from several plausible choices under time pressure.

Certilum recommends concentrating on Flow Builder, data model design, and Lightning App Builder. The highest-value preparation includes building and troubleshooting record-triggered flows, formula fields, and roll-up summaries. Reviewing deployment changes is also essential because release errors are a common exam trap.

Study by building a complete custom app in a Salesforce Developer Edition org. Create objects, relationships, record types, validation rules, and flows; then deploy them to another sandbox. Use the official exam guide to map each domain and practice scenario-based questions. After each practice test, revisit the related Trailhead modules and fix gaps. Focus on automation because it carries the largest domain weight.
