Hello everyone! 👋

My name is Genesis and I'm a Program Coordinator for the Committee on Trauma at the American College of Surgeons, based at our Chicago headquarters. I'm thrilled to be part of the Adobe Marketo Engage Community Mentorship Program 2024! Since July 2023, I've been diving into Marketo Engage, primarily building standard programs for my department's newsletters. Lately, I've been experimenting with A/B testing for our conference event newsletters, aiming to find the perfect timing to connect with our trauma surgeons, nurses, administrators, and data analysts. Also, I've been working with our performance reports and playing around with analytics. Our organization switched from Constant Contact to Marketo last July, so I've been on a learning journey to master the platform. I'm excited to explore more of Marketo Engage's features to automate processes for our conferences, banquets, events, and beyond.

Looking forward to connecting with and learning from all of you!

Hi Genesis! 

Nice to e-meet you and thank you for the great background!

I am excited for any questions you have and looking forward to being your mentor on the road to gaining your professional certification!

I actually work at Stryker which is a medical device company, so I am excited to learn more about you and your email marketing!

Hi Eesha!

Nice to e-meet you as well! Thank you for your kind words, I'm really looking forward to this journey and learning from your expertise 😊

I have a few questions to start off:

Do you know if the weekly quizzes are scheduled on the same day each week, or does the date and time vary? Additionally, how much time do we have to submit our quiz answers? Lastly, is the winner determined by who answers the question correctly first?

Looking forward to our collaboration and gaining my professional certification with your guidance!

[emalick]

Hi Genesis!

Are you talking about the exam or talking about Marketo Automation? 

In how much time do you have to submit our quiz answers when you are taking the exam, i think you have a full 85 minutes. I gave myself 5 minutes per question!

Apologies if that's not what you are talking about!

[Romo_Gen26]

Hi Eesha,

No worries, sorry I should have clarified a bit better! During the kick-off call, Jon mentioned that there will be weekly mentor quizzes with mock test options from May 27-June 21. He highlighted that based off the weekly quiz results, there will be an opportunity to be awarded a test certification waiver or adobe swag. So I wanted to know if the weekly mentor quizzes are scheduled on the same day each week, or does the date and time vary? Additionally, how much time do we have to submit our quiz answers? Lastly, is the winner determined by who answers the question correctly first?

I appreciate your help on this!

Hi @Romo_Gen26 great questions, I am going to loop in @JoHa on this one! 

Jon - are you able to help answer Genesis's questions below?
