I have enjoyed the quiz
Ashish
Great quiz for practice. Thanks for putting out.
Emer Ingeniero
I passed. If I get the courage to take the actual exam I hope I do it as well or even better as I did on this one 🙂
ben@ben-mccarthy.com
I’m sure you will Emer! Some of the questions in the real exam are more wordy and scenario based, but if you read carefully, the principle is the same.
Connie
Hi! I’m taking the salesforce training class in Sept any suggestions? Im very nervous. I’m trying to collect as much information as possible beforehand.
Connie

go ahead.All the best
Jennyli
Is there a difference between a test and a formal test? My English is not very good.
Khan
does exam has questions like this or are they a bit different??
Iain
Great practice test Ben, thanks for setting this up. I like to do these now and again to try and keep fresh.
I’m confused about one of the answers – “Formulas ignore Field Level Security settings” is marked as False in your quiz but I always thought that was true – a couple of posts on success state that too – https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000h2qbAAA.
Has this changed in recent editions?
ben@ben-mccarthy.com
Hi Iain, me too! Just to make sure I still know what I’m talking about. This is actually a mistake on my part so will make sure I change that right away, you can bump your score up 1 point too!
Anuj Sharma
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the great quiz. I am very new to SF and have scheduled an examination early next week with a preparation of 2 weeks. I passed this exam without even a single guess :). Hope i pass that you. Will keep you posted :)It would be great if you can change the answer for ““Formulas ignore Field Level Security settings”question.
Thanks,
Anuj
Corinne Melchior
Hi Anuj,
What did you use to prepare for those 2 weeks? Were there any specific training sites? I’m looking to take my exam soon…
Sindhu
Hi Anuj,
I would like to know your exam experience. Can you send a brief description to my email ineedsuccessasap@gmail.com. I’ll be waiting for your response.

Ojomo
Hi , can you please let me know what exam materials you used, oojomo82@gmail.com.

Hi Anuj,
Any preparation information would be great. I hope to take my test in the next 2 weeks. Thank you in advanced. Please send to iltnogbd@gmail.com if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks again! Missy
Jason Osorio
You never changed it.
Brainman
Maybe it’s slightly different word, but it seemed like I had the same question in 3 instances.
Thanks anyway! Passed with the skin of my teeth.
You can email me the certificate. 🙂
ben@ben-mccarthy.com
Maybe I should create a downloadable certificate 🙂
Cal
Hi Ben,
Not sure if I’m reading this correctly, but the following quiz answer is marked as False:
‘Field Level Security or Page Layout can be used to make a field required’.
While this other quiz answer is marked as True:
‘You can make fields visible, read-only, and required using Page Layouts.’
There is a contradiction here; the first answer implies Page Layouts can’t be used to make fields required, and the second answer implies that it can. Please tell me what you think!
ben@ben-mccarthy.com
Hi Cal,
The first is a bit of a trick question, but you can expect these on the real test. It states that FLS or Page Layouts can be used, but only Page Layouts can be used. You can only make a field visible or read only using FLS but not required.
Hope this helps!
Cal
Ah, I had a feeling that may have been the case. Thank you for clearing that up, Ben, very useful to know!
Prabha
Cool. I had the same qn..clarified. Thanks….
davea0511
((1=1) or (1=0)) evaluates to true every time. That’s just math.
lifewithryan
Ahhh that was my overthinking 🙂 For whatever reason I always equate the “Always Require a Value to save a record” setting in the setup of the field itself as FLS….as a dev, I don’t admin much and tend to generalize and overthink. Exactly why I’ve always feared the admin exam.
Mohammed Hussain
Hi Ben,
Since it has an OR condition so if either of the two (FLS or page layout) is true, it should hold true. Can you please clarify?
Thanks,
Hussain
Daniel (Bluewave)
70% – it’s a pass at least.
Ben McCarthy
Nice! At least you deserve your Administrator Certification then 🙂 Here’s the Dev Exam I was talking about earlier – http://www.salesforceben.com/dev-401-quiz/
Haydar
Hi Ben,
Thanks a lot for these questions and answers.
Very Helpful!
Just a question, are these questions that you created yourself or are they questions that have come from previous certification exams?
Thank you for your reply in adv.
Regards.
Ben McCarthy
Thanks for your kind words Haydar.
These are questions myself and others have created. It is against Salesforce’ terms and conditions to publish questions from the actual exam. This means that you can get your Certifications taken away for doing so.
Hope this helps you out,
Ben
Haydar
Thanks for the quick reply Ben.
Infact I will be taking the certification exam for ADM 201 in 3 weeks.
I got 90% on your quiz. Hopefully i am on the right track.
Thanks again.
Haydar.
Ben McCarthy
Good luck! I’m sure you will do great.
MB
Hi Ben
I worked previously on Salesforce administration in my prev company. Now I don’t. But I like to get certified in Salesforce. Do you recommend that I download walk through on my laptop and practice with it so that I can still stay in touch and learn more. Also taking your quiz when its time to get certified. Do you think this will work for newbies.
Thanks
MB
Rena Bennett-Dellwo
Ben,
Great test! I was able to identify some areas that I need to go back and review. I would’ve done better by at least one answer if I could’ve gone back to change an answer like we can on the real test.
A note: I don’t know if you randomize your questions, but in my version of the test, #60 seems to be a very near duplicate of #50 (or were you trying to trick us by implying that there’s a difference between the user and the manager?). #60 definitely has duplicate answers of “Matrix”.
Samarjeet
Great quiz for refreshing your skills
barry schnee
I did very well on the mock exam. I took the Admin test today and did not pass. The material for the questions were different.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Barry,
Sorry to hear you didn’t do so well. You can always get an up-to-date material breakdown in the Salesforce Study Guide. Personally I find the mock exams helpful to reinforce your learning and find out where you have gaps in your knowledge. They should not be substituted for revision though. Let me know how you get on.
Chloe
I took the exam twice over the weekend and failed both times. They give section level feedback but it’s hard to know exactly what I need to work in without having the questions I got wrong to specifically review and research.
I’ve been getting 90%+ on the practice exams on various salesforce MVP sites and Simplilearn practice exams. I’ve also been having a blast going through Trailhead and have been doing super well in procuring badges.
Any advice? Additional resources for practicing?
ILIETTO
The questions and the relative answers are the same of the various salesforce MVP sites and Simplilearn practice exams?
ankur
Hi Barry, Can you share some questions in ADMIN EXAM. I am also givng exam on 23rd June. I will be very grateful to you
Thanks
Ankur Mehta
Jamie
Would be great to tell you which questions you failed on, to help focus on the areas to improve
Ben McCarthy
Hi Jamie,
I may be mistaken but when I ran through this a few times as a test, the answers are displayed at the very end, each individual question so you can see which ones you got wrong/right and what the correct answer was. If you try running through it again I’m confident that it will show you. Ben
Jamie
Yeah – well done for spotting the trick question Ben! 😉 I noticed it after I sent the note!
Ding Ding…..round 2
Donnie
Thanks for putting this together. i appreciate the practice. Now to just pass!
Jamie
Hi – I think the answers for these are wrong in your test?
21. Question
What type of report cannot be used to run a dashboard report?
1. Matrix
2. Tabular
3. Summary
The answer in the quiz is tabular – but although very limited, you can use a Tabular report to create a basic Table in a Dashboard. In the report you need to specify a row limit, then within the report choose which 2 fields to add to the Dash Table.
22. Question
Quotes & Opportunities are part of which cloud product?
1. Service Cloud
2. Sales Cloud
3. Analytics Cloud
4. Marketing Cloud
The answer on the quiz is Sales Cloud. But infact Service Cloud includes everything in Sales Cloud – with some additional extras. So for me the answer is either Sales or Service 🙂
Hope my comments help?
Ben McCarthy
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for this, I have amended the dashboard report question as I agree with you and have reworded it slightly. On the 2nd question however Opportunities & Quotes may be included with the Service Cloud license, but they are actually part of the Sales Cloud product.
Thank you again!
Ben
Jamie
Ah ok good point on the Sales Cloud – Product vs License!!
This is the kind of thing which will catch me out so good question in that case! 🙂
shraddha
Hi Ben,
So what is correct answer for this question. Answer list still shows Tabular to me …which is not true Right?
What type of report cannot be used to populate a chart in a dashboard?
1. Matrix
2. Summary
3. Tabular
kalyan
Thanks. I enjoyed the mock test, Do you have mock test for sales cloud as well.
Mudasar
Hi Ben,
How similar is the actual ADM 201 exam to this mock exam. I have done quite well in this mock exam so am hoping the exam is of similar format.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Mudasar,
The mock exam questions are a lot shorter. This exam can probably take you 20-30 minutes but the real exam will take an hour plus. The main reason is that the questions will be scenario based. This mock exam is designed to test your knowledge and if you have any gaps. If you scored well in this test and have a good background of practical Salesforce experience plus revision, you should do great! Good luck.
Mudasar
Thanks Ben, I took the exam last week and am pleased to say I passed. The material on your website helped me massively so wanted to say thank you.
Ben McCarthy
Great! Good join Mudasar. I’m really glad it helped you out and its absolutely no problem at all!
Vasanthi
Hello Ben
Thanks for quiz. I am a beginner to Sales Force and doing your quiz gave me hope.
Suraj Gupta
Hi Ben
I have passed the above quiz with 90% but not much confident to clear the actual Exam. Could you Please help me out through some points so that it will become Easy to Pass the Actual Exam.
I want to tell you that I am a DEV 401 certified, but from the ADM 201, I don’t know the level of Questions that comes in the Actual Exam. Is the level or standard of questions are just same like the above quiz ?
please send me some of the more questions for Practice.
Your site bacically motivates me to jump further in Cloud.
Ben, Thank you for this that you have done .
Ben McCarthy
Hi Suraj,
Thank you for your kind words.
The questions in my exams/quizzes should be used as a supplement to studying the features and also testing them out in Salesforce. The questions in the actual exam are longer and are scenario based, while mine are short and snappy designed to test your knowledge. If you are getting above 90% and have fully studied and tested the features in Salesforce, I would say you are in a very good position to pass.
Good luck!
Ben
Edward Scott
Thanks Ben for the practice exam. I scored a 75 percent on the exam and I am planning on taking the real thing next month. Would you say that the topics in the exam are pretty similar to the topics in your practice quiz. Like most people here I am kinda nervous about the exam. I have been an admin for about 3 years now and have been studying for a while. I just hate not knowing what the questions will look like on the exam. Thanks again.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Edward,
Not a problem. It looks like you are in an extremely good position to pass with 3 years experience behind you. The questions in the real exam contain the same kind of content but are presented in a scenario based way and therefore seem more complicated. The main thing to remember is that with 3 years of experience and a good amount of revision you have all the knowledge in your head to easily pass. If you read the questions carefully and make use the of the entire 90 minutes or so I’m sure you will surprise yourself! Good luck with it!
Jun Liu
Hi Ben,
I passed my ADM 201 exam today, just want to say thanks for your mock questions, it definitely helped.

von clark mcclendon
Hi Ben,
I took your quiz today and FINALLY I was able to see my weak areas. I barely passed it, but this quiz really helped guide me to focus on the missed questions. I will continue to to study more as I take my ADM201 next Tuesday.
I will be back to take the DEV401 once I’ve worked in the app a bit more.
Thanks,
Von
Heidi
Hi Ben! Great test! I have my test tomorrow and am feeling pretty confident after using various resources and taking your test. One thing I wanted to point out. It showed that I got a 50 out of 60. When I reviewed the answers, I noticed that only 6 of the 10 were visually marked as wrong (in red). After scrolling through each one, I noticed that the multi select questions were not visually marking anything red.
1. If you checked a box, and it was wrong, it will show red. However:
2. If you did NOT check a box, and it should’ve been, it will just show green (visually deceptive, as green is used on other questions to show you got it correct).
Just wanted to let you know, as I feel it could be confusing.
Thanks again!!
Peter Rodriguez
Tanks for your effort Ben putting all your knowledge together it is really really helpful !!
Regarding this question I think there is a mistake :
“Standard picklist fields cannot be dependent fields”
Because in the picklist considerations there is :
“Standard picklist fields can be controlling fields but not dependent fields.”
https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=fields_dependent_field_considerations.htm&language=en_US
Ben McCarthy
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m not too sure what you mean though? It seems as if the question and the documentation match. Standard picklist fields cannot be dependant but can be controlling.
Ruben Smith
Hello Ben,
This is a great practice exam, thank you for sharing!! More so, thanks for sharing the wrong answers on this platform. This is beneficial to study the areas of weakness further. After taking the SU15 exam last week, and not passing, I can tell you that many of questions and their format are not on this mock exam. I found your mock exam to be very straightforward an easy, the exam they provided was very tricky and misleading IMO.
Anyway, thanks for sharing… I’ll be on here every day until I pass perfectly.
Thanks
RS
Seamus Dee
Great resource. Thanks. I’d say the real exam is harder and certainly covers some areas that these questions don’t, but it was still very good practice. I’d recommend going over the questions more than once if you don’t get a super high score first time round, just so that you understand how the questions really work and where you’re making the mistakes. That’s what I did and it helped me for sure. I got 65% the first time I took this and passed the real thing the next day.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Seamus,
Thanks for your feedback and I completely agree. This Exam should be used to aid users revision in testing their knowledge in particular areas. Big congratulations on passing.
Rene
Hi Ben,
I passed my DEV 401 Certification today! Your mock exam is a great help… Thank you!
I will now prepare to take ADM 201 and maybe have the exam in a month. Do you have additional reference materials or documents that I can use for my review? Thank you! 🙂
Rene
Ben McCarthy
Hi Rene,
Congratulations! If you look at the Get Certified link, you can see my mock exams for the admin certification too. Hope this helps.
Cory
Hello Ben. There is a question on the 60 question mock exam, it was #36 on mine and it reads: “The Sales Director wants to be alerted to deals that are greater than $1,000,000.00. Which tool should you use to achieve this?” The two answers given when the answers were given were “#2. Workflow-Create a workflow to send an email if an Opportunity amount is great than 1,000,000.00” and “#3. Big Deal Alerts.”
When I took another mock quiz of 20 questions (from salesforceben website) I had the same question but the answer came back as incorrect and the answer was just #3. Big Deal Alerts and the “Workflow” answer was not correct.
Thought I’d clarify as I’m sure that could be a similar question on the actual test that I have early tomorrow.

Hi Cory,
Thanks for commenting and I’m glad you are using the tests. This is a bit of a tricky question, although the Workflow & Big Deal Alerts and both valid answers. The Big Deal Alert is actually the better answer as this feature has been specifically designed to alert people to big deals. In some of the questions you will find questions like this where 2 answers are feasible, but its up to you to decide which is the best fitting answer.
Hope this helps,
Ben
Cory
Thing about this question though was that it had checkboxes meaning it needed more than one answer………if it would have had circles it would have required only one answer.
Ben McCarthy
Was the other exam Admin Quiz? I can get this changed as it should really be multiple choice.
Cory
Yes it was one of the 20 question quizes.

Hello Ben,
Took this exam today and passed. This is a very good exercise to see where I might have gaps in my knowledge so as to go back by related subject matter and see where I need additional study. Taking the exam on November 2nd so wish me luck. Thanks for posting this mock exam its very useful.
Kind regards,

Thanks Glenn and congratulations! That’s exactly why I made these exams, to fill Knowledge. I’m sure you will do just great on game day, you’ve got a lot of time to scratch up!

There are two sets of two questions that are the same. One set is approx. at Q29 – Q31 and the other set is about what report type is best for bar chart dashboard.
Tim
I think this is a good practice exam but would find it much more helpful if the multi-select questions said “Choose 2” or “Select 3”, like the actual exam does. Some of your questions did but it wasn’t consistent.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Tim, Thanks for the feedback. The main reason I do this is to challenge you on some of the easier questions. If you can do this with my exam then you should find the actual Salesforce exam even easier when they tell you how many to answer. Thanks, Ben
Colm Doran
Hi Ben,
Thanks for preparing the exam. I’m sure a lot of time and effort went into it. I got 65% when I took it. So now I know the areas which I need to improve on. Do you have any questions based on Salesforce for Outlook, Salesforce files/folders/Content Management, Salesforce1? I’m just looking at the study guide and saw some questions would come from those areas.
Regards,
Colm
Ben McCarthy
Hey Colm,
I’m glad you are getting a lot out of it. I’m afraid I don’t have any specific questions on those areas however, revision can take care a lot of those features that the exams only touch on, as oppose to going into great detail.
Ben H
Thanks for the quiz – I’m sure it will be helpful when it comes to taking the exam. Couple of things though:
Question 58; assuming of course you are the record owner, above them in the role hierarchy or system admin (i.e. have ‘Full Access’), the sharing button will appear in both scenarios 1 or 3: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=faq_general_why_cant_i_see_the_sharing.htm&language=en_US
Question 41; I believe the correct answer is 2. System admin doesn’t have the marketing profile, for example. It’s now a feature licence assigned at the user level. The only thing required at profile level is the relevant object (Campaign) access
Question 13; Option 4 is not really correct as if you’re importing records to a child object in a master-detail relationship there’s no owner field. That said, seeing as the question says ‘consider’ then there’s no harm in considering including one, although they of course wouldn’t be able to map it if they actually tried to import to a child object.
Hope this helps others in the future…

The certifications are not updated each release, this is what the release maintenance exams are for. They may change over time but the core information is still there.

Hi, Please check question number 59. You have two options with the same answer “matix” and “matrix”.
Best,

Ben McCarthy
Thanks for pointing this out Julija, I have updated this.
Julija
Thank’s, Ben.
I also had some doubts about Q31 “Field level security or Page Layout can be used to make a field required”. Answered “Yes”, but your correct answer is “no”, even if both field level security and in page layout you can make field required. Can you a bit of explain an answer, or I missed something? Answer would be appreciated.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Julija, you cannot make a field required through FLS therefore it is false.
Julija
Thank’s, I will check it once again. In any case Your Mock exam is good point to find the gap in knowledge 🙂
Christine
Hi Ben,
Great resource here….thank you!
I am wondering about the above discussion, it appears you can make a custom field required via FLS per below link, which is probably a more desirable way to do it if you want to be sure all users are required to complete the field, regardless of page layout perhaps?
https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000003107&language=en_US
Ben McCarthy
Hey Christine, thank you very much!
I’m afraid with Field Level Security (FLS), you can only make a field either visible to your users or read only, not required. In this link you send over this is describing making the field requirement on the page layout, a validation rule and on the field definition when you create the field.
Let me know if this makes sense.
Thanks,
Ben
Moe

abhijit velhal
Hi Ben,
Below is the question I need to understand more abut this.
All users are currently using the “Standard User” profile in Salesforce. You have recently created a custom object which some users will need access to. How would you do this?
I think best way to do this is create apermission set and assign to the right user. As per you the answer is to create a new profile.
Can you please explain more on this topic?
Thanks and regards,
Chinmaya.

Quick question – Can you mass transfer accounts to more than 1 user? We had someone leave the organization and 2 people will be taking over his accounts. I know mass transfer works from 1 user to another, but not sure if possible to transfer from 1 user to more than 1.
Thanks.
Magan
I passe the quiz. I really hope I would do good in exam which is 7 days from today. I want to know how you go about few days before that exam like, you just put everything off and relax or review everything over and over?
Ben McCarthy
Personally I love to cram until I feel like I literally can’t fit anything further in my head. I don’t really like relaxing as I feel like that If I was revising and I revised a question that came up, that could be the one question that makes me pass!
Ciril
Hi Ben !
First, thanks a lot for your impressive work within your blog, it’s very helpful for me.

shraddha
not sure if below mentioned questions answers are correct ?
A system administrator needs to restrict users ability to view a dashboard. How can this be accomplished?
1. Restrict the access to the folder that the source report is located
2. Create a sharing rule to restrict the access
3. Restrict the access to the folder that the dashboard is located
4. Disable access to the dashboard on the users profile
In which scenarios will the sharing button appear?
1. When the sharing model for the object is private or public read only
2. When the sharing model for the object is private
3. When the sharing model for the object is public read/write
4. It will always appear
What type of report cannot be used to populate a chart in a dashboard?
1. Tabular
2. Matrix
3. Summary
Ben McCarthy
Hi Shraddha, The answers are A, A, A in the questions you have given me. Do you have any doubts?
Kat Bazyliuk
In my quiz the answer for Question 1 was #3 and you are saying that the answer is A ( #1)?

Hi,
I have a question regarding the following question: “You can use standard reports when creating Dashboards?” I created a standard report and I was able to add it to the dashboard. Why the answer is “False”?

Hi Kat,
Standard reports refer to those that are automatically created by Salesforce when you create a new Salesforce org. These cannot be used in Dashboards.

Manuel Echeverria
Hi. I practicing with your test and I must say that is really useful. Thank you for this. However I have a question because in one of your question says: Field Level Seurity or Page Layout can be used to make a field required? and I answered True but the Test says that is False. But in another similar question: You can make fields visible, read-only, and required using Page Layouts. I answered True and the correct answer is True. So I’m confuse in this questions because as far as I know, you can make a field required using page layouts.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Manuel,
Thanks for letting me know!
This is a bit of a trick question, you can make a field required with with page layouts, but not with field level security.
Raj
Hola Ben!! Amazing set here. Wish there were more mock exams to be tried here before appearing for my ADM 201 exam [Essentials for new Admins] this 30th April. Got 75% so hope all goes smooth in main as well.
One Q: Could you please clarify the answer for: System administrator needs to restrict users ability to view a dashboard. How can this be accomplished?
1. Restrict the access to the folder that the source report is located
2. Restrict the access to the folder that the dashboard is located
Carlos Siqueira
Hi Raj:
This is a very good question that gets many people. Think about the relationship between a report and a dashboard like a parent and a child.
A parent exist without a child and a report exist without a dashboard. If you restrict the access to the folder where the report is located, you still see the dashboard (That is the trick on the question!) and you don ‘t see the report, so the correct answer is to “Restrict the access to the folder that the dashboard is located”.
I hope this helps.

Hi Ben,
MY question is regarding
46. Question
You can restrict a profiles view to a certain field by using which feature?
1. Profiles
2. Roles
3. Permission Sets
4. Field Level Security
The correct answer is 4, but I think you can restrict a field through profiles too. Am I correct?
Ben McCarthy
Hi Irina,
This is a bit of a tricky questions. Field level security is the feature where you can control fields which is included within the profile. However the actual feature used is called Field Level Security.
Hope this helps!

HI Ben,
What permissions are needed to import leads and contacts to a Campaign?
1. Marketing user checkbox on user.
2. Marketing user checkbox & profile
3. Marketing user profile
4. Marketing User permission set
It seems to me that SFDC states that it is merely the checkbox on the user that allows or disallows this- so I guessed #1, but you are stating that it is #2, requiring both the Marketing profile and the Marketing User checkbox checked. Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks so much!
Sfoorti
Hello Ben,
Thanks for the nice set of questions to help us prepare for the exam. I have a doubt though in Question no 9 “Fields which are hidden using Field-Level-Security are still subject to Validation Rules?”. The Answer says that its “True”.
My doubt is that if for hidden fields validation rules will be applied, then how will the user be able to correct the validation error when the field itself is hidden?
Could you please clarify the answer to this question, or will it be “False”.
Thank you.
Ben McCarthy
Hi,
Good observation. The answer is correct and if this does happen the answer is that the user cannot correct it!
Irina
Hi Ben ,
My question is regarding 47. Correct answers are 3 and 4. What about giving “Manage Dynamic Dashboards” permission, without permission is it possible?
..
A sales manager would like to view a dashboard from the perspective of different users and switch between users without editing the dashboard, how would an administrator enable this?
1. Grant the sales manager the “Manage Dynamic Dashboards” permission
2. Grant the sales manager the “Drag-and-Drop Dashboard builder” permission
3. Grant the sales manager the “View my Teams Dashboard” permission
4. Create the dashboard as a dynamic dashboard
Thanks in advance!

Tulasi
Hi Ben,
You can make fields visible, read-only, and required using Page Layouts.?
True
False
Page Layout doesn’t have ‘visibility’ option, it has only ‘read-only’ and ‘required’ options. So, the answer for this question should be false.
Your answer states that its true, could you please verify.
Thank You,
Tulasi
Ben McCarthy
Hi Tulasi,
You are correct in saying that fields on a page layout don’t have the visibility option. But you can easily make fields visible or not by dragging them onto the page layout or by taking them off. This is what makes the answer correct. Hope this helps,
Ben

Hi Ben,
All of the following objects may have a queue EXCEPT

2. Leads

“Queue is supported on Case, Leads, Contracts and custom objects”
Could you please clarify??
Thanks

Hi Sundari,
The question says all of the following may have a queue EXCEPT…This means the correct answer is Accounts. I checked the system and this is marked as the correct answer.

So I’m a little confused here. I thought profiles could only be used to *grant* access (not *restrict*) that is otherwise restricted by OWD, yes? So technically aren’t all of the following answers incorrect:
If the Org Wide Default is Public Read/Write, what feature in Salesforce is needed to *restrict* access to that object?
1. Record Type
2. Profile
3. Role Hierarchy
4. Page Layout
Ben McCarthy
Hi Dave,
Although you are right in your thinking, you can still restrict access via profile level by removing read access to a certain object.

Hi Ben, I got this answer wrong, however I believe I was right, 1 is NOT a name of a standard object. There is a standard object called ‘products’ and also ‘opportunity’ but NOT ‘opportunity product’. Also, I saw the same 2 questions asked 2 places in the quiz.
Which of the following are standard Salesforce Objects?
1. Opportunity Product
2. Contract
3. Pricebook
4. Ticket
Ben McCarthy
Hi Amy,
There is actually an object called Opportunity Product. It’s a junction object that links products to Opportunities – https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=opportunity_product_fields.htm&language=en_US
Amy
Hi Ben,
I am reviewing my results, and found another one that I believe is incorrect. On Salesforce help pages it says you can use standard reports for creating dashboards. I marked this true and it appears it is true, but the quiz marked that wrong for me.
You can use standard reports when creating Dashboards?
1. False
2. True
Ben McCarthy
Hi Amy, you can’t actually use standard reports when creating dashboards. You can however clone them and then use it, but this is no longer a standard report.

Ben,
Q: Which statements about custom summary formulas in reports is true?
I believe your test answers say this is true: “Custom summary formulas can reference a formula field within a report.”
The Salesforce documentation article “Get the Most Out of Custom Summary Formulas” , however, says it is false: “A summary formula can’t reference another summary formula.” Is this a trick question: “formula field” vs. “summary formula.” ? Or did I misread the answer?
Please clarify. Thanks for your input.
ASHOK

Carlos Plazas
Hi Ben,
I’ve failed the test and I just wanted to let everyone that plans to take the salesforce admin certification exam; the exam is going to be TOUGH! I’ve passed the mock test and I did not even got 1 question from there. If you plan to study for this test, make sure to use the Salesforce Fundamentals Documentation and practice each chapter thoroughly, https://certifiedondemand.com/
Use the Study Guide and stick to all of the objectives.
Use Quizlet (This is a MUST) I had no clue that application existed, you can find SOME of the actual questions there; if you need a better idea on how the test will be) it is mainly scenario based with multiple answers. I did not get any true/false questions at all.
I’m in the process of reviewing all the material (which is very extensive) and until I feel confident I can take the test again, I will. I was told not to wait too long as they constantly change the questions. However, I can barely remember the questions and I am not sure which ones were correct or incorrect; and they do not provide any information at all.
To everyone, please do not get discouraged as most people fails in the first attempt.It is very common. You can check the feedback from people who have taken the test before.
Note: I’m a data management not a salesforce admin. (that also can be a reason for not having the experience with salesforce as an admin)
I’d rather stay with my area, but just need the cert as part of my goals.
Thanks,
Carlos
Dax
Thanks for this! I do have a question. On this question:
What should a system administrator consider before importing a set of records into Salesforce?
1. Data should be de-duplicated in the import file prior to import
2. The import file should include a record owner for each record
3. Validation rules are not triggered when importing data using the import wizard
4. Currency field values will default to the personal currency of the record owner
I chose #4, but it said 1 and 2 were correct as well. I don’t need de-duplicated records as I match them through the SRM_ETL_ID field in Informatica, and I don’t need a record owner as that is done through workflow upon import.

I think you may have programmed the incorrect answer (or I may need to be explained the answer to this question) for this question: “Field Level Security or Page Layout can be used to make a field required”. I am pretty sure it is ‘true’, as page layouts can be used to make a field required. Or am I certainly incorrect? Also, great practice exam and many thanks
Cassandrea
Field Level Security does not control whether it is required or not, only who has access to that field.

Question 25: All of the following objects may have a queue EXCEPT: Your answer: Custom Object. Please compare and contrast with: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=queues_overview.htm&type=0&language=en_US&release=206.5 which states “Queues:
Prioritize, distribute, and assign records to teams who share workloads. Access queues from list views. Queue members can jump in to take ownership of any record in a queue. They’re available for cases, leads, orders, CUSTOM OBJECTS, service contracts, and knowledge article versions.”
Is this question valid or was there a change of some kind?

Hi Ben, thanks for the mock admin exam. I’ve just subscribed on the basis there would be more mock Admin questions, but I can’t see any? Cheers Phil
Ben McCarthy
Hi Phil,
There is currently only one Admin mock exam, but more are coming out soon. You can view the full list here – http://www.salesforceben.com/members-area/
Kelvin
Hi Ben,
You only have a maximum of 60 questions or you have more than that? If I do the exam more than once will I see new questions?
Josh You
I have same question… I just paid and sign up. Questions seems same as before sign up.
Ben McCarthy
Hi Josh,
This particular exam is complete free. The membership gives you access to more exams and also allows you to download it in PDF format. If this is in anyway misleading on the site, please let me know so I can change it.
Thanks,

Shandra Brown
Hi Ben. I tried to sign up and when I got to the PayPal Page I hit the back button trying to make sure I put in the information correct. Now I can’t login to finish registration nor can I use the login Id/email I had when I started. How can I pay the fee so I can get my login to work?
Ben McCarthy
Hi Shandra, I have deleted your account so that you may start the process again. If you have any other issues, please let me know. Thanks, Ben

Hello Ben McCarthy, can i know the last update with the Salesforce Demandware? i send to you with 2 email already but too silent.
Do you have for question for exam for DEV?
Martina Georgieva
Hello Ben!
Thanks for the nice exams.
I have doubts about the following question:
When converting a Lead, what values are transferred to the Opportunity?
1. Close Date = Today
2. Amount = Lead Amount
3. Close Date = Last day in fiscal quarter
4. Stage = First stage in list
According to the answers, 3 & 4 are correct, but I took the same test yesterday and I got 3 & 1. Correct me if I am wrong but is not the Closed Date set to Today?
Thanks!
Ben McCarthy
Hi Martina,
The answers do mix around in order so it may well have been that the correct answers have moved place slightly. However the close date is not set to today, it is set to the last day in the fiscal quarter. The close date is meant to represent when you plan to close the Opportunity.
Thanks,
Ben
Adam
Hi Ben.
There were 5 questions I answered correctly but the results showed I picked an answer that I didn’t pick so it marked it incorrect. I passed anyway but I would’ve got around 90%.
Steven Bilgram
Great quiz! For question 33, I don’t see ticket in the latest standard object PDF, https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/sfdc/pdf/object_reference.pdf Has this changed?
Jai
thanks for putting these questions.
Justice Binion
I have had no formal Salesforce training but have been working as a junior admin for the last few years. I took your practice exam and scored 71% today. Does anyone have any input on how this compares to the real exam? I have been looking into the Admin201 course to take before the exam, but now I am wondering if I should just take the exam.
Stephen
OK so I passed the quiz with a 70%. It looks like I need to study some more. Are these questions current? From what I am reading in the comments the actual test is updated and slightly more difficult. I think when I can get a 90% or higher perhaps I will be ready for the real deal.
Franco
Hi Ben McCarthy,
As you are aware there will be a new update 17 spring in salesforce, I was supposed to take the ADM 201 exam this Saturday but not knowing that the end date of the end date of the winter exam completion will be 24th of this month.
My question is, with this new update in salesforce will it affect deeply the ADM 201 exam in the sense that will most of the exam question change due to this new update?
Like in total of 50 questions in the exam, how many questions could change.
Thanks
Ben McCarthy
Hi Franco, sorry for the delayed response here. I’m not sure if you have already taken your exams, but Salesforce rarely change the Admin exam to match the releases. They will ensure that is is all factually correct, but they do not change it as frequently as the releases. Hope this helps!
Franco
@Ben McCharty, i am taking the ADM201 exam soon by the way. Thanks for the response
Zeeshan
Hi Ben,
I am planning to give Admin exam by next week. Could you please tell me if there are any changes for 2017? Do you have more mock tests?
Lord Robert
i got 91% on 2nd try. i hope i pass the exam this coming May 2017! thank you for this reviewer!

Hi Ben I registered my username (shandyw) but did not pay the fee immediately. Now I can’t log in or pay the fee. Please resolve. Thanks shandyw@hotmail.com.

Hi Ben:
I am a member and would like to get more tests before my test on Saturday, June 10th. Your feedback is appreciated. I need to pass this test.
Frankie Collyer
Ben,
I think one of the questions on the mock exam is outdated and could mislead students. The question I’m concerned with is “When a lead is converted, which object can it optionally become? 2.) Opportunity”
I just read in Salesforce Lead Management Implementation Guide, Summer ’17, that “Salesforce automatically maps standard lead fields to standard account, contact, and opportunity fields when you convert a lead into an account, contact, and opportunity. Custom lead fields can be mapped to custom account, contact, or opportunity fields. Before converting a lead, create the appropriate custom account, contact, or opportunity fields. Then, set the
appropriate mapping for the custom lead fields.”
I haven’t seen anything that says you can “optionally” convert a lead to an opportunity in the new guide.
Srinath Reddy
Hi Ben,
I register myself and straight away paid to get full access to mock test but unfortunately, I am unable to log in. Please look into it and do the needful.
Thanks,

How was your Study metod, cos I´m nervous, i study from help, and I pass 100% all mock exams on internet
Francois Gravel
Hi Ben, Looks like there is a discrepancy between the Pdf and the Mock exam for Sharing Rule
https://snag.gy/SkYQe9.jpg
I believe Solutions do not offer any level of granular security control – only field-level security and “manage solutions” permissions at the profile level. Solutions are not available for any sharing rules

Hi Ben,
Somehow the Next button does not move to the next question in this quiz.
PUNEET SACHDEVA
What I mean to say is that I am on question no. 22 and try to submit my answer for the question but somehow the Next Button does not work.
PUNEET SACHDEVA
On the second try it worked. Just got 95% on the quiz. Hopefully I will pass the Admin exam tomorrow with flying colors. Fingers crossed. Thanks for putting up the quiz.

Hi, try to scroll down your screen and go back to the button. Hope you complete the quiz!

The big difference between this type of mock test and actual test is, the mock test are straight forward and easy to get answer correct, but the actual tests are scenario based. I passed almost all the mock tests, but failed twice on the actual tests. Mainly because the scenarios are totally confusing, and difficult to understand. If these mock tests are also made scenario based, that will be more helpful score. Thanks.
Andrew Whitten
This was a good test because it didn’t mess around with scenarios, and just tested if you had the knowledge (or not).
Knowing how to deal with scenario based questions is an important skill to pass the real test. Perhaps a couple of such questions could be added here?
Chhavi Arya
Hi Ben,
Do these mock exams reflect the latest releases ?
Ben McCarthy
Hi Chavi, Salesforce exams are not updated every release, but they are checked to ensure they are not out of date.
Natan
Hi Ben,
About Question>>> 29.Where can you make a field required? (Select all that apply)
I select workflow rules too, bot why this is wrong?
I can do a workflow rule to make a field required (examples a field cannot be in blank or select a value from pick list)
??
Thanks
Adriaan Swart
Hi Ben, is the Admin quiz also updated based on the admin 2018 exams?
Muhammad Imran
Hi Ben,
I am planning to get admin certification this weekend but I need to know whether these mock exams are updated or not?
Jen Crook
Ben –
Finding the comments as informative as the practice exam, so thanks for including and keeping all intact.
I just want to say that I am using this as practice to find my weak points, because although I have been working as a Salesforce certified administrator for 2 years now (contract, different companies), and passed the ADM 201 on the first try in 2016, my hands-on experience has been limited for moving forward. People tend to want to hire contractors for a specific issue and/or they don’t want someone to go too deep for fear of harming their orgs. So now in interviewing for jobs I keep having the same response in lacking certain areas. (I am considering getting the advanced admin cert also, hoping that might help.)
Going back to this exam was a great way to start another round of study! Also, want to thank you for answering my questions whenever I have contacted you! Great help, and always so quick to reply! 🙂
Stephanie Leith
Hello,
Just wanted to see how current this mock test is? I noticed that Workflow was referenced instead of Process Builder, so it made me wonder if it’s out of date? It’s a great quiz overall, I just want to be sure I’m preparing by studying the right information. Thank you!

Janet Chadwick
Thanks so much for this Ben.
I’ve been too nervous to sign up for the exam, and I got 77% on your test (with one question being a very stupid mistake of misreading the question when I knew the answer)(, and I realised that I can do this! So I’ve set to the trailmixes, and have just scheduled my exam for early next month! I’m so excited. Thank you very much for putting this out there and making it freely available! Once I have studied some more, I’ll come back and give it another go, and see where else I need to brush up!
