🗣️ [Mentor Carissa Russell] Taking a practice Test

[Keiyin2024]

Thank you Carissa! I will check out the module education guide as well! I think I will need to revisit the Marketo workspace part as I was too rush to finish the text when replying the thread last time.

CRM SYNC: In regards to CRM Syncs, I noticed there were resources in the prep guide for both SFDC & Microsoft dynamic. I would assume the test doesn't expect you to know both CRMs, but rather concepts that are relevant to both. Am I right in that thinking? 

One area I'm keen to learn more about is archiving- specifically:

- Pros & cons of archiving folders and assets (e.g. does it free up processing/sync power?)

- If anyone has a routine/business process when it comes to archiving? 

[CarissaRussell]

Excellent, all correct! 

Regarding CRM sync, yes you are also correct - for Expert level it is worded more CRM agnostic and about concepts true in CRM syncing in general - this is a smaller part of the exam so it isn't many questions either.  It's good to know basics about either if you can, but I've never had to learn more than that about Dynamics myself.  🙂

Great!  We have a super robust process where I'm currently at for archiving - Marketo will send you inactive trigger cleanup reports quarterly, so we review the list and archive every six months. Yearly (in summer usually due to campaign volume) we archive campaigns that are 3 years old or older that aren't evergreen. Make sure to deactivate landing pages, because even if you convert it to an archive folder the landing pages will still be accessible if left approved!  In former roles, we did similar but only once a year - usually over the holidays because that was the slowest time.

Very interested in what anyone else is doing or has had experience with!

The main benefit i've seen from archiving is that it does help search run faster since it deprioritizes archive folders in the search. The larger your instance, the more impact you'll see from maintaining those best practices.

I'm going to post the monday intro to the next section shortly in a new comment - over the weekend the links to the Exam Prep Guide changed, so make sure to update your bookmarks if you have them!

Thank you! 

RE: Archive process - that is great! Our instance could definitely use some 'spring cleaning'. Thank you for sharing.

No worries at all - all your answers are correct!  Awesome work.  If you have any areas you'd like to look into more for the Admin section, let me know - I can create a few more questions around it in future weeks or share experience/best practice to round out your knowledge.  Thank you for being involved!

@CarissaRussell can I take the practice test for free?  I logged in to practice test site and it showed that I needed to redeem a code.

Also-I have no idea if I set up my Adobe Credential Managment profile correctly. Is there a way you can review and make sure I set it up properly?  It's associated with my current work email address.  What if I change jobs--how will I get back to this site and confirm my credentials?  

Thanks for your help.
