Marketo Certification

[Anonymous]

I am planning to take Marketo Certification exam.   I have a good working experience on Marketo.   Can you please suggest some good materials for exam preparation or mock-up tests for certification perspective? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,

Any tips on the best way to prepare?? I'm a little overwhelmed on where to begin!

Good Luck!  I hope to take the test in the next month or so, but am so NERVOUS!!!!  Been using Marketo for almost a year and still feel like I have so much to learn.  Also some sections of Marketo I am not using on a regular basis so that scares me too.

Where can I find the Roadmap?

I saw downloading the road map and going through the links and spend some time on items that you're not too familiar with.  Immerse yourself in the community.  Yes I do remember some of those admin set up and program questions.  Know your analytics reports.

I don't remember questions about the initial setup, but there may be some questions regarding field management and synching with a CRM, Users and Roles, Tags, etc.

@Elliott-

I've worked with Marketo in two different companies but I've never been around during implementation. When you talk about Admin questions, do we need to have knowledge about implementation and setting Marketo up in the beginning?

Thanks!

It looks Marketing Rockstare’s Guide to Marketo is the paid one.   I have already downloaded Roadmap Master pdf from Marketo site and preparing based on that material.

Thanks to all for your help.

Thanks,
Venkat

Venkat,
You can find materials here in University section of the community. If you visit this article, scroll to the bottom and download the roadmap. That should prepare you!

Best,
Liz

Venkat,  there is a Marketo Certification Program page that has some info about this.  The key to success is to be actively using Marketo for many months (the page recommends a year).  There are some questions about Admin and Reports, which you may use less frequently than other areas, so be sure to review that.  There are so many Marketo help articles, it's hard to point at one definitive set of material.  You may want to invest in Josh Hill's Marketing Rockstar's Guide to Marketo, which is a comprehesive review of Marketo's functionality.
