Free Practice Questions for Platform App Builder

Salesforce’s exam guide lists 60 multiple-choice or multiple-select questions (with up to 5 unscored research questions). You have 105 minutes to finish the exam, and the current passing score is 73%. Registration costs $200 USD and retakes cost $100 USD.

The current official exam guide weights five domains: Business Logic and Process Automation (32%), Data Modeling and Management (20%), Salesforce Fundamentals (18%), User Interface (17%), and App Deployment (13%). In practice, that means Flow (including Flow approval processes and flow monitoring), Agentforce automation, AgentExchange, validation logic, relationship design, Lightning page design, security, and deployment planning deserve the most study time.

No. The credential is primarily about declarative solution design on Salesforce. You still need to know when a requirement crosses the line into programmatic customization, but the exam focuses on choosing and configuring point-and-click tools correctly rather than writing Apex or Lightning Web Components.

Salesforce describes the typical candidate as having 6 months to 1 year of experience building applications on Customer 360 or a similar platform. No prerequisite certification is required. Practice objects, security, relationships, formulas, Flow, Lightning pages, and deployment in a suitable test org.

Yes. The current exam guide uses the Summer '26 release and reweights the domains: Business Logic and Process Automation grew to 32% and App Deployment to 13%, while Salesforce Fundamentals dropped to 18% and Data Modeling and Management to 20%. The blueprint now names Flow approval processes, Agentforce automation, and AgentExchange, and Flow is the automation engine following the December 31, 2025 end of support for Workflow Rules and Process Builder; existing legacy automations can continue to run. Logistics stay at 60 questions (plus up to five unscored), 105 minutes, a 73% passing score, and a $200 fee.

Use a mixed approach: official Trailhead prep modules for blueprint coverage, hands-on practice in a sandbox for declarative build work, and timed question sets to expose weak areas. The most efficient preparation pattern is to practice a topic in the org, then answer scenario-based questions on the same topic until your reasoning is consistent.

Start in Trailhead Academy and use Salesforce’s Pearson VUE registration flow for online or testing-center delivery. Salesforce permits three attempts at the same exam per release cycle: wait 24 hours after the first failure before registering again, 14 days after the second, and until the next release cycle after the third. The standard App Builder retake fee is USD 100 plus applicable taxes. Check the current policy and any promotion terms in the registration flow.
