I have 50 badges so far. I will admit that getting them is
fun, but some are more relevant to certification that others.
At some point, I have to stop collecting badges for a while
and focus on exam specific studies. To that end I made quick spreadsheet using
the Saleforce Study Guide which ranks the topics as a function of questions on
the exam.
While it’s all good to know, there are somethings from an
exam stand point that are more valuable. Here’s the ranking and plan for my
future studying. The highlighted topics add up to 40 questions or 67% (passing score is 65%)...
| Main Topic | Weighting | Approx # of Questions |
| Standard and Custom Objects | 18% | 11 |
| Security and Access | 15% | 9 |
| Reports and Dashboards | 13% | 8 |
| Data Management | 11% | 7 |
| User Setup | 9% | 5 |
| Sales Cloud Applications | 9% | 5 |
| Workflow Automation | 7% | 4 |
| Service Cloud Applications | 6% | 4 |
| Activity Management | 3% | 2 |
| Content and Folder Management | 2% | 1 |
| Desktop and Mobile Administration | 2% | 1 |
| AppExchange | 2% | 1 |
| Organizaton Setup | 1% | 1 |
| Global User Interface | 1% | 1 |
| Chatter | 1% | 1 |
