Common Questions About the Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect Exam
The Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect exam is the official Salesforce test registered under exam code Sharing-and-Visibility-Architect. Passing it earns you the Salesforce Architect certification, a credential at the Expert level. It is also linked to the related certification: Salesforce Certified Technical Architect. Salesforce exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 120 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 Sharing and Visibility Architect exam you need 67%, and the official registration fee is USD 400. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 400 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.
