The concept of treating Smart Lists and Segments as wholly different is already confusing, since Segments are defined by Smart Lists -- SLs with restricted filters, but nevertheless absolutely SLs.

I agree with you that leaving out (e) doesn't make sense. To the degree that one is comparing multiple standalone Smart Lists or Smart Campaign SLs with Segments within a single Segmentation, yes: "Smart lists are not mutually exclusive but segments are."

Yes, I agree with you. As that answer was written, it seems right to allow e as an answer also. However, it should have been "segmentations" (since that's what the question asks about) and then it is just c. Just some lazy wording on my part.

Hi Kristen,

First of all, thank you for the sample test !

According to the documentation, Cvent is part of Marketo's partners : http://launchpoint.marketo.com/applications/event-marketing/marketo-integrated

I'm not sure the question "Which of the following webinar partners does Marketo not integrate with?" has a correct answer.

Thanks,

Stéphanie.

HI Kristen Carmean ,

Thank you very much for your sample questions. I qualified MCE test. Thank you very much to everyone who have given valuable information on community.

Hey y'all - Marketo does integrate with Cvent and I noticed some other questions that may not be up to date - just FYI.

I think it's ridiculous to have a question on the MCE exam that requires us to have memorized which webinar partners are integrated with Marketo! My understanding was that the goal of the new test was to ask more scenario-based questions in an effort to test whether people understood how to use Marketo - as compared to the old test that involved a lot of screen memorization.

Hi Denise,

I recently passed the certification exam a couple of weeks ago. Most of the questions are in fact scenario-based questions. A few "easy" ones are thrown in, but I don't think they had a question on partner integration. They did however have a couple questions that were worded very awkwardly (grammar) i had to guess on because it didn't make sense, but other than that just follow the checklist in the previous thread of what to know and you'll be fine. Here is the study aid I made using the checklist, hope it helps study aid.docx - Google Drive
