Sample Questions for MCE Exam: Admin & Operational

Anonymous
Not applicable

There are not that many practice questions out there for the new MCE exam. I took the ones from the study guide and wrote about 100 or so additional of my own to help my team study. If the list of topics wasn't enough for you, this should be a good way to get extra practice. I will just add a caveat that these questions were written based off the study guide topics before I actually took the new version of the test, so the list of topics in the previous blog is slightly more accurate as far as reflecting the actual material.

Let's start with questions on the Admin & Operational topics.

Thanks for sharing this!!

Just wondering, will they definitely ask about spam legislation in different countries? Or anything else country specific like this?

Hi everyone,

I took all of Kristen Carmean's questions and answers, and put them in a free online practice test.

Just put in your name and take the practice test. When you finish it will give you a score and show you which ones you got right or wrong.

Let me know if you find any errors, so I can correct them.

Here's the test link.

This is great! I never totally understood the difference between adding people to a program rather than to a list–I always do list. What is the explanation for the answer?

What is the way that you do display custom fields in another language?

When you import members directly into a program, there is no option to select an acquisition program.  If the leads are new, they are assigned this program as the AP.  If they already exist (and have an AP defined), nothing will change.

When you imported leads into a static list - on the otherhand - you have the option to select any program as the AP.

The answer is "Form Language" (which is why the answer is FALSE above) - which will automatically localized the form field labels on your form.  Form Locale is a subset of Form Language - and is used to adjust local dates/times:

Hi Dan Stevens​, I changed Form Language from English to French (and locale also to French), approved and closed,  but the form field labels are not localized (to french).

As mentioned in the document Change a Form's Locale - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation,​ Marketo will only display dates/times in the correct formats according to the chosen locale.

Will Marketo really translate the form field labels ?
