MCE prep question - Mkto embedded form, which functionality do you use

[Anonymous]

Would someone please explain to me how the answer to this Q is "Progressive Profiling"

A Marketer wants to embed a Marketo form on a company website. Which functionality is used for Marketo Embedded forms?

a. reCAPTCHA

b. form pre-fill

c. Progressive Profiling

d. Suppress competitor form fields

Answer - C

Topic: Implementation and Operations

URL provided = Lightbox

Use a Form in a Lightbox - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

I don't see the connection of the answer - C - with any information on this URL/product doc. Nor do I see any connection between Progressive Profiling on the product doc specific for that topic.Configure Form Progressive Profiling - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

This is a horribly phrased question (which I think someone has posted about before).

The real question they they mean to ask is, "Which native Marketo functionality will be available for this embedded form?"

• a. Cannot be the correct answer, since reCAPTCHA can only be added via customization (it's not a native feature).
• b. Cannot be correct because it doesn't work when a form is embedded elsewhere.
• d. Is a random allusion to an old blog post, but still refers to a non-native functionality, so can't be the answer.

Therefore the only feasible answer is c., since ProgPro is a native feature and does work on embedded forms.

However, the question sounds like it was generated by a circa-1982 Apple II "computer therapist" app, so it's not surprising that you were confused! And no, the linked URL doesn't shed any light.  The main goal of the Q is to make you think about what forms do and don't do and in what context.

Yes, this is a poorly worded question. On the Beta, this question was there and I flagged it. I suppose it still got through. This question was also flagged a month ago on a different thread.

Ayana Nickerson​ - perhaps we should go through my comments from the Beta?

Sanford, appreciate your reference yet, the questions were designed by a group of humans.

Isn't there a famous quote like "Any sufficiently advanced groupthink is indistinguishable from Apple BASIC"?

I just passed the new cert.

This question is a mistake. I recognize the answer and the reasoning, and the question above is not the right question.

So don't let it throw you off.

The idea here is to put in superfluous / extra information to confuse the person. If you remember from college, a lot of professors would do this in order to throw you off.

I wouldn't impute this to academic-level mind games; "is used for" is just bad writing, and the link is broken.
