Practice makes perfect and Salesforce exams are notoriously tricky. That’s why we’ve created our practice exam pack to help you prepare, test your knowledge and gain confidence.
Here are some of my top tips to keep in mind when studying for and taking the exam – use them during these practice exams to get comfortable using them so you can stay calm when exam day arrives!
Focus on the Big Topics
Taking the Salesforce Associate exam is not just about getting certified. Studying for the exam is about gaining foundational knowledge that will prepare you for a successful career in the Salesforce ecosystem. This means it’s important to study all the topics and hone your skills. That said, be sure to pay special attention to the big topics with the highest weightings as you can expect a lot more questions on these.
Pay Attention to the Question and Read It Twice
When taking the exam, pay particular attention to the question, and read it through a few times. For the scenario-based questions, there will be clues in the answer that provide hints to the correct answer. Keep an eye out for keywords that would eliminate certain answers.
If you are taking the test onsite, you can use the pencil and paper provided to draw out a data schema, role hierarchy, or any other diagram that will help you visualize the answer.
Read Every Answer Twice
You should read every answer carefully and at least twice. It can be easy to skim the answers and accidentally choose the wrong answer because they look similar.
Eliminate the Obviously Wrong Answers
When deciding on the answer, be sure to use the process of elimination to get rid of the answers that are definitely incorrect. Salesforce likes to throw in answers that are made-up features or just plain incorrect. They also like to throw in curveballs, such as features that appear to be correct but aren’t best practices.
You can often disqualify these by focusing on standard Salesforce features that accomplish a task. For example, you could build a custom approval process with Process Builder, but why do this when there is the standard Approval Process feature available?
Mark for Review
You have a great tool at your disposal, the “Mark for review” feature. On each question, you will have a checkbox that you can mark so you can come back to the question easily later. This is great if you cannot think of an answer right at that moment, or if you are unsure about your answer. We also include this feature in our practice exams!
Look for Clues That Might Help Answer Earlier Questions
As you move through the exam, you might come across questions and answers that help you identify the correct answer to an earlier question!
Try to Go Through the Full Exam Twice
Keep the momentum going on your first pass through the exam – don’t dawdle over questions you have no idea about and use the “Mark for review” feature heavily, then move on to the next question. This should allow enough time for you to go through the exam a second time.
Stick With Your First Answer
If in doubt, stick with your initial answer. With the limited time available to you, if you don’t feel any more confident on your second pass through the exam, then stick with your original answer and move on.
Use All Your Time
If you follow these tips there’s no chance you won’t use all the time! Give yourself the greatest chance of success by carefully reading each question and answer and going through the exam twice.
Focus Your Studies Using Section-Level Scoring
At the end of each full practice exam, we provide section-level scoring. Pay attention to the areas you are scoring poorly (or lower than you would like) and focus your studies here.

It’s a nice content but for some reason the second exam cannot load for me. The question bank stays blank and only the timer shows up once i start the exam.
Hi Pavel,
Please try clearing your cache which should resolve the issue!
Hi christine marshall, thanks ! Is very nice
Thank you!
The Salesforce Ben Associate Practice Exams are well done. Thanks Christine. They give you a balanced insight as to the core topics covered on the exam.
Thank you!
As a totally new trailblazer looking for resources in order to prepare for Associate and Admininistrator certifications, this is pure gold.
Thanks a lot for the work accomplished to deliver this course Christine !
Hi Christine, I was curious to see what’s in the Associate exam, thank for creating the tests. Really enjoyed taking the first one so far.
Christine,
Thank you very much for the content, very detailed, very good indeed. Highly recommended!
Hey Christine,
Thanks for the effort to create a quiz-set that really helps clarify things and prepare you for the exam.
Hello, Je veux vous remercie pour vos efforts. Est ce que l’examen est assez similaire?
Merci
Thank you! Yes – I have taken the exam myself and feel that these questions are similar enough to give you an idea of what might be covered.
Hi! I’m fairly new to Salesforce. What would be the some benefits in taking the Associate Certification if it is not a prerequisite to the Admin Certification? By the way, thank you for these practice exam questions. I really appreciate it! More power to you all!
Hi Joel,
It’s a good question! I cover my thoughts on the reasons to do this exam here: https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-associate-certification-guide-tips/
Christine great course However Report & Dashboard is not showing as completed when I finish.
Hi Rob,
This is typically because the overall lesson has not been completed (the individual topics are complete but not the lesson). Can you send me a screen shot of what you see at christine@salesforceben.com?
I had the same issue. I just marked for review the last question and the Finish Quiz button appeared.
Thank you Christine – that was very helpful!
I’m confident I’ll be able to pass the exam on March 31st.
The associate certification is a great idea – will give me something substantive with which to begin my job search while I move on to the admin cert… ( 8>{D ]
Thank you!
Hy have you got the same questions that we completed in the quizzes or totally differnt questions.If i complete all the quizzes will i be able to complte my certificate exam
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I managed to identify knowledge gaps and ready to study precisely what I need!
Thank you!
This course is well built, I think it covers a lot of the useful knowledge areas in the exam. Good job Christine!
Thank you!
Thanks Christine, I passed my exam yesterday
Congratulations!
If I passed Admin and App builder, do I need to worry about the exam or is just easy question exams?
In my experience, the Associate is much easier. However, there are additional topics that may need to be learned such as the ecosystem and the various products and when to use them.
Thank you Christine – the content was excellent and has prepared me very well for the Exam. I am happy to report that I have achieved this cert and have just now registered for another training course. Keep doing what you do, it is a winning formula.
Thank you so much Bev and congratulations on passing your exam!
The post-exam feedback has been super helpful. Passed all the quizzes and officially registered for my Associate Cert. Exam in April.
Congratulations Stephen – good luck with you exam!
Hello Christine,
Thanks so much for this detailed course, it’s been beneficial to my prep for the Exam! I’ve come across some complications where I have been unable to move forward in an exam as it only shows the “back” option when resuming. Also, I was able to view test scores post completion, but I am unable to go back and view the scores/only option that shows up is to start a new test.
Would love your help on this. Thank you! 🙂
Thanks Christine and Salesforce Ben for providing these free resources to help me get my certificate. I would strongly recommend to others the enormous benefits of going through this course.
Thank you Mark!
Perfect content. Help me prepare for exam. My First certification Salesforce.
Thank you!
Thanks for share with us this content. Is very clear and many relevant topics summarized.
Thank you! We are so thrilled you found our practice exams useful.
With out these practice question i don’t think I would have passed my associate exam.. Just purchase the Admin practice looking to pass on 5/1/23.
Congratulations on passing! We are so thrilled you found our practice exams useful.
Good Content and it’s very helpful.
does the first 3 practice papers are from actual exams ?
All of our questions are 100% original and are NOT from the official Salesforce exam. These questions are designed to test you on the types of features you’ll be expected to know and are written in the same style as the official exam.
Thanks a lot, Christine! Really amazing resource for preparation to Salesforce Associate Certification.
Thanks Christine. very nice composed learning.
It’s really helpful for certification. Thanks a lot.
Hey Christine, Thank You So much for this Course .They help me a lot to clear exam.
Congratulations on passing the exam!
Thanks, Christine For the great course.
Hello Christine,
Very Helpful for me to clear exam. Thanks a lot
Congratulations!
Hi Christine, thanks!
Hi, Chistine I listened to the lessons, I did all 4 question sets, but then I can’t see the other 3 question sets. Could you help me?
Could you clear your cache and try again? Let me know if there is still an issue!
Hi Christine, thank you for this really amazing content. Would you say that the questions presented in your quiz are likely to be similar to the real thing, i.e. if we do well enough answering your questions – we should be good to go with the actual exam or would you recommend additional study, like the Trailheads?
Thank you! I would say that based on my personal experience taking the exam, my practice questions may be a bit harder than the real thing. Many learners are reporting using these practice questions and passing the real exam, so I beleive that if you are scoring highly on my exams you are probably ready to take the real thing!
Hi Christine, I’m happy to share that I passed the Associate Certification exam. I already have the Admin certification but your course was very useful in preparing for the exam. Thank you very much!
Congratulations!

Hi Christine, Thanks !
I passed my exam today.
Hi Christine, these were fantastic, I reviewed everything a couple of times this week, before today’s exam. I passed! Thank you. These prep questions were just what I needed to help set me up for the real exam.
Thank you so much for these awesome materials. The practice exams were especially instrumental in my passing the Salesforce Associate Exam.
Good Course
Just completed Salesforce Associate Certification. Thanks Christine.
I passed my exam a few days ago and used this as my main prep. I’m glad I stumbled upon this site. I found the explanations very detailed. I also liked that there were links readily available to brush up on concepts. The questions were also formatted similarly to the real exam. If I do decide to proceed with the Admin, I’m definitely going to utilize this source. It’s in-depth, easy to navigate, and overall very helpful.
Thanks a lot, to the people at SalesforceBen & Christine for this course. The sample exam questions helped me to prepare for the certification and I am writing this right now just after getting this certificate. Looking forward to more Salesforce content from you guys, cheers!!
Thank you! Christine Marshall This is very beneficial practice sets for associate exam preparation
Hi christine marshall, thank you so much ! Is very nice
I have done my test last friday, may 6th ,and it was quite similar to the questions on the exam in here, actually there was 5 questions on the real exam exactly the same that in here.
Thank u for the help!!!!
Christine, that was very helpful for understanding Salesforce in general. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Salesforce and prepare for the certs 🙂
Thank you for these practice Exam. They were really helpful and I cleared my Salesforce Associate Exam.

This course is highly informative and perfectly caters to individuals with various levels of ecosystem knowledge who are gearing up for the Salesforce Associate exam. The creators have undoubtedly put immense effort into crafting this invaluable resource. I cannot thank them enough for their exceptional work and for making it available.
Thank you!
I passed my exam but having quite experience with Salesforce,
Need better questions on Salesforce Environment, Its growing alot more now.
But thank you so much for Reference, really help!
Thanks for creating such gr8 course. It helps me to understand basic fundamentals of Salesforce…!!

I have passed Salesforce Associate Exam, JUST NOW at 12.50 PM SYDNEY TIME. ONLINE EXAM. I GOT 50-60% similar question from Here
I like the exams! How can I look at my answers without taking the test again?
Unfortunately we do not currently offer the ability to view your answers once the exam is complete. This is so that you can repeat the test as many times as you like.
Hi christine ,Thank you very much for the content. I only used your content to prepare for this exam and I passed it for the first time today!!!!!
Congratulations!
Thank you so much! It helped me a lot to pass the Salesforce Certified Associate.
Congratulations!
Excellent
Thank You!
I have completed my admin certification and now I’m preparing for the associate certification. I’m quite anxious about being able to pass it on my first attempt. Do you have any tips to help me overcome my nervousness and improve my chances of success?
The Associate is much easier than the Admin, so if you’ve already cleared Admin then you should have no problems!
Check out our guide and tips here: https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-associate-certification-guide-tips/
Sensational content, I am now more than prepared for the exam!
thank you very much @Christine Marshall an #SalesforceBEN.
Thank you!!
Hello Christine, I must express my admiration for the incredible work you do on this platform. Thanks to your practice questions, I was able to prepare for the Salesforce Associate Exam in just three days at my university library. I approached the exam with confidence and completed it in less than half the allotted time. I felt unstoppable, more like the Ronaldo and Halland of Salesforce! A whooping 90%
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear we could help. Congratulations on passing your exam!
When I give any practice exam in a half way I see there is no Next button
You’ll only see the “Next” button if the correct number of answers has been selected or if the question has not already been answered. For further support, please email support@salesforceben.com.
Thanks!
What a great HELP!!! Thanks. It really helped me to settle in and focus.
Hi Christine,
I am new to saleforce and want to apply for associate exam and looking for a dump. Got redirected to this course and i am happy and hoping that this course will help me to pass my first certification exam.
Thank u so much..
All of our practice exam questions are original and will not appear on the official Salesforce exam. Our practice questions are written in a similar style and format, to help you get comfortable with the type of questions and answers you can expect. We hope it helps with your exam preperation!
Are the same questions there in exam?
Hi Ish,
All of our practice exam questions are original and will not appear on the official Salesforce exam. Our practice questions are written in a similar style and format, to help you get comfortable with the type of questions and answers you can expect.
I just passed my exam thank you Christine for this course it helped me get my certification
Congratulations!
excellent practice exams, passed my certification exam in first attempt.
Congratulations!
l love the modules and thank you for all your help, some of the questions in the Associate exam were 100% similar, word by word to what is offered here and the rest were similar, just different names were used on the questions. Thanks again for all you help and on to the next Certificates (Admin then PAB), you offer those here, right?
Really great content that certainly helped me in PASSING my Associate Certification exam last week! If I could emphasize anything – make sure you not only know the right answer but also know why the other answers are wrong. 🙂
Congratulations!
Will I be able to use the practice tests more than once?
Absolutely! You can use them as many times as needed.
Hi Christine, many thanks for this very valuable course ! I did some quiz but unfortunately when I try to do more, there is no button “next” after each question, I can only come back but not validate my answer. I tried to refresh and relog several times but it doesn’t work.
Many thanks for your help 🙂
Apologies – it seems that we had a little bug following a platform update. This has now been resolved. You may need to clear your cache again.
Hi! This course really helped me a lot and I’m definitely going to use this site as a resource. I am having problems getting the Reports & Dashboard Quiz to record my score. Is there a way to reset it. I’ve cleared my cache, tried a new browser but there is no completed button. Pls help! Thanks
Apologies – it seems that we had a little bug following a platform update. This has now been resolved. You may need to clear your cache again.
Hi!,
Thanks for sharing this content. I think it covers a lot of the useful knowledge areas in the exam.
Regards,
Hey Christine. Just finished the practice exams and I thought it was really well put together. There was a bit of a glitch before I could finish the first one, but it could have been my internet speed, Will look to take the exam on Saturday.
Good luck with the exam!
Very nice content and quizzes
Thank you!
Love the quizzes very well done. I did have possibly 1 correction though. On quiz 3, question 38 about selecting what is not an example of metadata, it says the correct answer is “First Name”. When you visit the Trailhead named “Get Started with Custom Metadata Types” in the Introduction paragraph it specifically says “Field names, such as first name and last name are metadata. The values in those fields, for example, Amy and Lane are data.”. This seems rather conflicting and confusing based on the wording. Great quizzes all around though.
In this example, “First Name” implies the data being captured in a field. We’ll look to see how we could improve the wording to avoid confusion.
Hi Christine! Thank you for putting these practice exams together. It was structured nicely and really similar to the real exam questions. I took my Associate exam today and Passed! These practice exams were helpful during my study process. Highly recommend for those new to the Salesforce ecosystem.
Congratulations!
Passed on my first attempt – this was very helpful for revision! thanks!
Congratulations!
Thanks for the content! It’s comprehensive. I have one question, though, if you don’t mind. Is there any way to reset the quizzes to a clean slate?
You can redo the quizzes as many times as you like! Once you complete a quiz it will reset so that you can start again.
Hi Christine, The course guide, practice sessions are much helpful. Now I know what’s going to be in the Associate exam.
For some reason I have trouble finding the main Associate exam link. I always find the course guide and trailheads links but not the main exam link.
Really appreciate if you could share the Exam link . Thanks.
You need to go to https://www.webassessor.com/
This is super! It helps me pass the exam. Thank you very much 🙂
Congratulations!
Christine, amazing course!! Congrats!
I passed! Whoo-hoo!! Thanks for the content. I think the Kryterion Webassessor questions were a little more complicated than the practice tests. Also it would be good to have a little more coaching on Clouds/services. Not just NonProfit and Sales, but all the others as well. But overall good job on the course and thank you!
please the course content is blank here
Hi! This issue should now be resolved. Apologies for the inconveniance.
This is so helpful, thank you so much.
I am happy to share that I have passed my Salesforce Associate exam with the help of the practice exams. Thank you Christine.
Congratulations!
The Salesforce Ben Associate Practice Exams are great for revision, I passed on my first attempt. I cannot wait to tackle the next certificate 🙂
Congratulations!
I can’t believe this is free, thank you so much!!!
I’ll make sure to prepare well before taking the real test and this is great!
Thanks a lot !
Los cuestionarios han sido de gran ayuda para tener una idea más clara sobre cómo son realmente los exámenes y me ha permitido identificar en qué tópicos necesitaba profundizar el estudio. Estoy agradecida porque he incluido este contenido como parte de mi preparación y he podido pasar el examen.
Hi Christine,
Thank you for your courses and excellent material, I passed my Associate cert Exam on Friday 24th.
Regards.
Paulo.
Congratulations!
I passed my Salesforce Associate exam on the first try! Thank you for these well designed lessons & quizzes. It really helped.
Congratulations!
This course was very helpful to achieve my certificate. Thank you!
Congratulations!
Hello Christine,
I have cleared my cache, I still can’t access the course content
Are you still experiencing an issue? If so, could you please let me know which exam is causing the problem?
This is Perfect! The questions need to be revised somewhat, like the wording. I took the exam yesterday with only taking these practice exams and completing the Salesforce Associate Certification modules / Projects on Trailhead. Unfortunately, I got a 61% you need 62% to pass, I was 1 point away! I will be taking the Exam again tomorrow!
Please do let me know which questions you felt needed revising – you can email me directly at christine@salesforceben.com.
I took the Exam today and passed! Thank you! 🙂
Congratulations!
Hi Christine,
Thank you for providing this wonderful study course. It helped me to pass my Salesforce Associate exam and get my certification ! I look forward to getting more courses to help me prepare for my next exam – Salesforce Administration.
Congratulations!
Thank you! The lesson and quizzes were great help.
Thanks for All Christine, I got it, Me first Certification 🙂
Congratulations!
I bought this course by mistake, how can I refund it?
The Associate practice exams are free!
Hi Chiristin, I got my certification, Tks a lot, this is an amazing guide, to star, 60% of the real question are in the exam, the other I got because my experience, I recommend this course. Learning the explanation of the answer, that’s the difference to success
Congratulations!
Christine,
Nicely documented quizzes. It really helps.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed them.
this was great training. the sample quizes and exams helped me see my knowledge deficiency areas (ecosystem, data model, navigation,etc) where i could dive deeper into those subject areas and sharpen up. i passed my Salesforce Certified Associate exam at first attempt !!
Congratulations!
Did the trailhead and the exams on here (about 3 times over – got 80% plus).
Got my cert today!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you for setting this up free of charge. Quizzes are an amazing tool for practicing and are very well done. Cheers!
Thank you very much Christine for your great help. I am happy to have achieved my Salesforce Associate certificate, with the Salesforce Ben internship courses. The truth is, the courses are excellent and help us update our knowledge to have better job opportunities.
Congratulations!
Thank you so much for this course. It has helped me to understand the concepts and prepare adequately for the exam. I have today passed my Associate certificate.
Congrats!
Thank you SalesforceBen team for providing question bank for each section. Really helped me to clear my certification. I have taken all the mock tests 2-3 times for my revision and boosted my confidence to attempt my certification. And even the explanation for each question help to clear the concepts.
Dear Christine Marshall,
Thank you so much for providing these valuable trial exams. They have been an incredible resource in my preparation for the Salesforce Associate exam. I appreciate the effort and dedication you put into creating these practice questions. I find them to be very similar to the actual exam format and have significantly contributed to my learning experience.
However, I wanted to bring to your attention a couple of points where I believe there might be inaccuracies in the answers provided:
Exam 2: Question 4
The answer states that “Invoice is not a standard object.” According to my research and the Salesforce documentation, the Invoice object is indeed a standard object available from API version 48.0 onwards and is accessible in Playgrounds. This might need a revision to reflect the updated status of the Invoice object.
Exam 3: Question 23
The correct answer is currently listed as “Create a custom report.” However, based on my understanding, the more accurate answer should be “Create a custom Report Type.” It seems that the key detail here is the “Report Type,” which is essential for generating a report that meets specific requirements.
I hope you find this feedback helpful and consider updating the answers to reflect these points. Thank you again for your excellent work and for providing such a useful resource for Salesforce exam preparation.
Best regards,
Maciej
That was very helpful feedback and I have gone ahead and made some adjustments!
Hi Christine, it’s great to be able to take this course. Very helpful and I recommend everyone get these practise exams before taking the actual exam. I would like to know if this practise exam can be taken multiple times.
Thanks.
its a very good to preapare who is newcomer in sales Force
