Salesforce practice exams
Role-first rather than product-first, Salesforce certification branches from a single admin baseline into development, consulting, AI and the CTA architect track. Practice for every stage of that journey is below, with answer keys and explanations for each option.
What is Salesforce certification?
Administrator (ADM-201) is the baseline — updated in April 2026 to include Agentforce content. From there: Advanced Administrator and Business Analyst on the admin side; Platform Developer I and II for coders; Sales and Service Cloud Consultant for implementation roles. The AI track — Agentforce Specialist (renamed from AI Specialist in 2026) and Data 360 Consultant — is the fastest-growing. The architect path stacks Application and System Architect composites before the Certified Technical Architect review board.
