Answers Every Salesforce-Associate Candidate Should Read First
The Salesforce Certified Associate exam is the official Salesforce test registered under exam code Salesforce-Associate. Passing it earns you the Salesforce Associate certification, a credential at the Entry level. It is also linked to the related certifications: Salesforce Administrator, Salesforce Platform App Builder. Salesforce exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Salesforce Certified Associate exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 65 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Salesforce Certified Associate exam you need 70%, and the official registration fee is $75 USD. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $75 USD again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
No formal prerequisites required. Basic computer literacy and familiarity with cloud computing concepts recommended.
