Hi Mike, I am currently studying for 201 exam, but when the time comes- how do we know what to study for the maintenance certs? Thanks !
Salesforce recently released a Salesforce Credential Status Request form. This will tell you what maintenance exams you have due, and deadlines. The best study material for maintenance exams are the release notes, and the maintenance exams are not proctored and so you can use the Release Notes to look up answers.
Wow this is amazing. Did not know about this. Just came across it.
Yes, it’s very helpful.
