They said that clearing Salesforce certification (DEV401) is too tough and needs lots of effort. I agree..!!
There are hundreds of blogs where people have shared their experience on how they cleared DEV401.
Many of them are helpful but not all. I really want to thank them for highlighting the walk-though to get this done.
Many vendors claim that they provide certification preparation kits which assure 100% pass guarantee.
LOL...!!!.
In many of blogs, I found some statements which discouraged me from taking the exam with much of confidence.
But, I adhered to one philosophy "There is no short-cut to BIG SUCCESS..!!"
Here are some tips that I want to share from my experience with DEV 401 certification exam that may help others.
But it's the heart of a winner which always craves for glory.
This is the first step towards the journey with Salesforce.com certification.
One success doesn't build up everything that your career needs.
Learning will continue to keep this glory alive on cloud.
They said "Learning is a part of life", but I realised "It's an attitude that needs open-mindedness and single-mindedness as the key ingredients".
No dream is too BIG.

But, I adhered to one philosophy "There is no short-cut to BIG SUCCESS..!!"
Here are some tips that I want to share from my experience with DEV 401 certification exam that may help others.
- Read the force.com platform fundamentals thoroughly twice/thrice as many times as you can from http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/fundamentals/index.htm (or you can get the pdf version as well)
- By the mean time try out this Recruiting App in a developers account to have the familiarity with the force.com platform. You may have more than ten questions related with Recruitment App dealing with Position, Candidate objects.
- You may find questions mostly from database fundamentals, details about look-up, master-details relationship, many-to-many relationship, workflow and approval process, reports and dashboard, page layout, sharing and security features of force.com, data loader and cloud-based data import feature,
- One thing that is the key to DEV401 is the familiarity with force.com platform.
- One can take the exam with having overall knowledge about force.com platform.
- EVERY JOURNEY MAY START WITH A RISK.
- Some philosophers have said "Yes, risk-taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking. What would be life if we had no courage to attempt anything? If you risk nothing, then you risk everything" Thanks to Tim McMohan, Vincent van Gogh and Geena Davis for the great philosophy on risk and life.
- During the exam, please adhere to the fundamentals of force.com platform and what you have learnt so far. In the exam, you may find the questions and options very confusing that deviates from your understanding and may compel you to choose the wrong option.
- Now choosing the right option is up-to you. Hope you'll clear the exam within 45 minutes instead of consuming the whole 90 minutes. TIME IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
- After a preparation of around 2 months, I appeared in the certification exam.
- I finished all the formalities like biometric test and hit the 'Lunch' button.
- I was very much anxious about the result.
- Initially, I found the questions and options to be very much confusing, but I adhered to the basic fundamentals.
- Still, I wondered as if my 200 USD went in vain.
- Don't know what happened in the mid of the exam, but suddenly I started regaining my confidence and after sometime my confidence went high.
- I moved ahead by answering all the questions and when I finished the 60th question, I found that 30-35 minutes still left.
- I went for reviewing my answer, but was bit impatient to see my result.
- I could not stop myself from clicking on the submit button to finish up.
- Yes, I did it..!! Success was mine.
But it's the heart of a winner which always craves for glory.
This is the first step towards the journey with Salesforce.com certification.
One success doesn't build up everything that your career needs.
Learning will continue to keep this glory alive on cloud.
