Resolve every weak area flagged in practice by reconfiguring the feature in a trial environment and writing a two-sentence explanation of the correct behavior
Review the exam skill outline for gaps and list any feature you cannot configure and explain
Your checkpoint
A final review log with practice scores by domain, the list of corrected weak areas, and a pass/fail readiness decision with justification
Milestones
Week 2: You can explain and demonstrate how security role scope and business unit membership change which records a user can see, and you have a working opportunity sales process attached to the form
Week 4: You can run a lead from creation through qualification, opportunity, quote, order, and invoice without consulting notes, and you can explain how price lists and discounts affect totals
