6 Days to Salesforce Admin Certification - Day 6


Today is the big day when all of Trailhead Baby's knowledge will be tested like never before!
Can a person pass the Salesforce Administrator Certification Exam in only 6 days using Trailhead as the primary source of truth?  The answer:  Absolutely!

 I read and re-read my "review sheet" for a morning cram session.  In the early afternoon, my mom strapped me into the car seat and whisked me off to the testing center.  I was nervous!  I may be the first baby to ever attempt the test!  Being that it was relatively difficult to communicate and convince mom of the need to drive 20 miles to a testing center, you may be wondering why I selected to go somewhere instead of taking the exam from the comfort of my own crib.
 Testing Center
     +  Quiet location without distractions.
     +  Scratch paper and a pen are provided.
     - The only negative - It's not home!  I am the most comfortable in my normal   "office" aka my crib.

Online Proctoring
     -  It would be awkward to be observed by somebody via webcam while taking a test!  The proctoring process requires an external webcam, so I would have to purchase one as  the camera built into my laptop is not  sufficient.
                                     -  Test completion is dependent upon my personal internet
                                  connection and requires me to install software.
                                     - There are multiple pages of requirements - see this article from                                              certification.force.com
                                    + I would be at home!

When we arrived at the testing center, mom helped me to get ready to start by strapping me into a booster seat and providing a last minute encouraging kiss.  I took a deep breath...and started the test!  After 76 minutes, I clicked submit and crossed my fingers and toes.
I am an #awesomeadmin
I just had to try my tools!
PASSED!
Time for celebration cake!
I might even try two cupcakes!  The next challenge- 
another superbadge!
