Preparing For The Salesforce ‘Community Cloud’ Consultant Exam

You are currently viewing Preparing For The Salesforce ‘Community Cloud’ Consultant Exam

With the lurking possibility of Communities being leveraged on my current client project, I decided to brush up my knowledge base and go for the Community Cloud Consultant exam. The exam was a mix of challenging, tricky and straightforward questions and was on par with the other cloud consultant exams that Salesforce offers, in terms of difficulty level.

The exam had 60 multiple-choice questions with a 57% passing score and 90 minutes allotted to complete the exam. Like all other cloud consultant exams, the cost of this exam is USD 200 with a retake fee of USD 100. Here is the Credential Overview which is also available on the official Salesforce certification website:
