Hi Kirsten! first of all, thank you for all these sample questions, they are great study material

Next, I have a question regarding this:

You wish to stop sending out content to a group of individuals in an existing engagement program. Which of the following approaches should you take?

So... can't you pause a person just using the change cadence of engagement program in a flow action? at least that is what marketo docs says.... Change Engagement Program Cadence - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

Thanks for the answer in advance!

Thanks Kristen.  Your sample tests helped a lot, and I'm especially thankful for your "Tips for the New MCE Exam".  I didn't get a chance to really watch the MCE exam prep webinar, the 3 hour one, nor review the slides carefully.  But your Tips helped me a lot!

According to Marketo's documentation "You can add emails or programs to a stream."  - Add Content to a Stream - Marketo Docs - Product Docs​​ (except Email Send programs, I tested it)

So, I think the correct answer is: Email, Default Program, Event program - a,c,f

Thanks Kristen for the sample test! Really helpful

I do have a question regarding:

What is the difference between segmentations and smart lists?

I am wondering if "e" is also a correct choice addition to "c"

e. Smart lists are not mutually exclusive but segments are

That's what the help doc says "The segments are mutually exclusive. A person can be a member of only one Segment at a time."

Segmentation Order Priority
