I was honestly stuck with Plat-101 because I knew the Salesforce basics, but I wasn’t sure what to focus on. The exam covers several areas, and I kept jumping between topics without a proper plan.
I started with the official blueprint and focused more on Salesforce Ecosystem (32%), Navigation (28%), and Data Model (25%). Reports & Dashboards was 15%, so I kept that for the later part of my study.
The biggest improvement came when I started practicing scenario-based questions instead of just reading definitions. I also used ITExamsTopics to get more practice and understand the type of questions I needed to work on.
After a few weeks of focused practice, the questions on exam day felt much more familiar. Glad I didn’t keep studying everything randomly. If you’re stuck with Plat-101 like I was, follow the official topic weights and practice around those areas.
