Exam Preparation Tips
Treat this like a build task. Work through the checklist below.
Build before you memorize. Create tables, forms, business rules and a flow in your own instance.
Understand application scope. Know what scoped applications can and cannot touch, and why scope matters.
Learn the scripting APIs. Be able to tell client-side from server-side scripts and know the common objects used in each.
Master Access Controls. Practice how table, field and record rules combine to allow or deny access.
Know the integration options. Compare imports, REST and other ways to bring data in.
Read multi-select questions slowly. More than one answer can be correct, and there is no partial credit.
Track weak domains. Review your scores per domain and repeat the lowest one before booking.

Common Preparation Mistakes
Each ticket below describes a bug in how candidates study, and the fix.
Studying only theory
The exam is scenario-driven. Fix: practice building and scripting in a real developer instance.
Mixing up client and server scripting
Questions often test which side a script runs on. Fix: make a table of objects and APIs for each side.
Ignoring application scope
Scope affects what an app can read, write and share. Fix: build at least one scoped application end to end.
Skimming Access Controls
Rules interact in ways that are easy to get wrong. Fix: test deny and allow cases yourself.
Skipping the last domain
Source control, publishing and distribution look small but still earn marks. Fix: study Managing Applications like any other domain.
