Hey everyone,

I'm Lisa. I've been with Druva for 2.5 years and have around 8 years of experience with Marketo. I'm really excited to join this program because I feel stuck doing campaigns and want to learn more. Sometimes, it gets overwhelming when people talk about more advanced stuff, and I feel a bit lost. I do want to gain knowledge on how to build a better lifecycle and better know the instance. I'm grateful for this opportunity.

Alysha, I'm super excited to have you as my mentor! I've seen you in a few webinars and can't wait to learn from you.

Hi,

I was preparing via a practice test and came across this question.

Is a 12-hour duration not adequate when we implement a head start? Is the usage of word worldwide causing complexity in this regard?

What other questions could arise regarding the topic of head start?

Thanks,

Suneetha

Hi Suneetha! If you read the question closely, you'll see that they are asking about Head Start with Recipient Time Zone.

So if you go to the Experience League article you linked and scroll down to the Head Start with Recipient Time Zone section, you'll see that it does take 34 hours.

@ellekay @lizmalinowski @suneethadadi31 @DaveSilva @yakshisharma @Greninja 

Welcome to Week 1! Here's our plan for this week:

• Review Section 1: Administration and Maintenance in the Adobe Marketo Engage Business Practitioner Expert Prep Guide and all associated articles linked out. Submit any question or areas that need clarified to this group. 
• Review the Exam objectives and scope (scroll down a bit) and send over notes on what areas you need help with. 
• Take the official practice and send over notes of what questions and areas you struggled with. We will retake this test in Week 4 to help track your growth and learning. 

  • To take the practice test:

    • First, log in to the Adobe Credential Management System with your Adobe ID.

    • Then, go to the Adobe Certification Exam Prep Portal to find your practice test.

I'm located in the Chicagoland suburb so I will be typically be responding in this thread CST mornings. Let's get this party started!

[lizmalinowski]

Took my first practice test and got an 84%! 

 Here are my takeaways/opportunities for improvement:

• Identifying global assets
• Better understanding of 'Used By'
• Improvement of how to do quality checks
• How to assign the appropriate acquisition program 

Areas of strength:

• Lead Management
• Administration and Maintenance
• Data Management

Summary: I found the scenario questions the most difficult. It was hard to discern the differences between the options that way the questions were written. Will need more practice here! Anyone else have any links or tips to share to help me in this area?

[alysha_khan23]

@lizmalinowski This is fantastic!

For the areas of improvements, I'll pull together some links/resources in the next few days. Can you clarify exactly what you mean by a better understand of Used By and how to do quality checks? Screenshots of relevant questions will also help.

For the scenario questions, do you mind sharing a few examples? The exam wording can be tricky so don't feel too bad!

And I'm asking about scheduling the exam so stay tuned.

[suneethadadi31]

 @alysha_khan23 - Instead of providing links and resources (which are abundant on the internet), would it be possible for you to create a Loom video (I appreciated your previous explanation) or share any other video resources covering the main topics? This would greatly enhance our understanding and make it easier for all of us to grasp the concepts. Please don't hesitate to let me know if this request seems too forward 😊

I gave my exam too -  I need to motivate myself to improve

[alysha_khan23]

Happy to send over more Looms or find videos! Everyone's learning style is different so I totally understand the request.
