6 Days to Salesforce Admin Certification

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!

Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 5

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom! Tonight's challenge involves the creation of two processes. Processes. Have you guessed the theme of the photos that go along with the Trailhead - Process Automation Specialist Superbadge series?They are a few of my favorite day to day processes!

Process Builder sketch Last night, I drew a rough sketch of my process: Was it pretty? No. Did it help? Yes! The sketch allowed me to organize all of the instructions into a reasonable order before I started clicking. It also removed the approval steps from Process Builder and highlighted (with *'s) the prerequisite items to building my process. * Email Alerts I needed the Email Alerts set up before I could create either the process or ...

Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it! My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk. He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz. You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup. You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor. It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge. Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages. This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax. A few common errors: You can see this error and st...

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 4,5,6,7

Part of doing the Service Cloud Specialist superbadge is trying new things, so I am putting up picture of new things that I've tried recently. One of my favorite new things this week was taking a shower with my whole block collection. Mom put me in the shower, and I sneaked out to grab the block bin and dumped it in. I'm concerned to share photos because of the slight nudity, however, I can assure you that it was a glorious adventure. Instead, I'll share my favorite Saturday new thing- walking to the coffee shop for a sprinkle donut! Back to the superbadge... Challenge 4 Case Routing If you haven't taken the Onmi Channel module yet, now is a good time! I kept that particular module open one on screen while I walked through this step. It is hard to give many hints about this step without giving away too many details - so - the best advice is to read through the challenge and label each step with the corresponding Salesforce term. (IE - "The...
