Hello everyone!

Just a quick question,  how should I prepare for it? Is retaking the Appian Developer Learning Path quizzes enough, or should I practice with other types of tests as well?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi [mention:b1aa0ab29cee40d8bb0b6b2f0bea9467:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,


Review official docs on docs.appian.com, always assume that you can easily clear the exam when you have good hands-on experience with different use-case applications.

you can search for POC examples - Link

Deep dive into:

  • Record types

  • Process models

  • Expression functions

  • Interface design

  • Security and user roles

Try to build small projects or replicate features. Always have full understanding of the topics mentioned for ACD 101

Hope this helps you!!!

I wouldn’t rely only on retaking the Appian Developer Learning Path quizzes. They’re useful for checking your understanding, but I found it helpful to practice with different types of questions as well. During my preparation, I used Pass4surexams practice tests alongside the Learning Path material. What helped me most was using the practice tests to identify topics where I was still unsure and then going back to the official learning content to review them properly.
I also tried not to simply memorize the answers. I paid attention to why an option was correct and why the others were not, especially when questions were scenario-based. The additional practice gave me a better feel for the exam format and helped me improve my timing and confidence.
For me, combining the Appian learning path, revision of weaker areas, and extra practice tests worked really well, and I was able to pass on my first attempt. I’d definitely recommend using the quizzes as a foundation and adding some varied practice rather than depending on the same quizzes repeatedly.

HI ​@juang908935,

  • Read key documentation topics (design objects, interfaces, process models, records, functions)
  • Go through the basic and advanced tutorials (app building, interface, process modeling, records, and web APIs)
  • Take a function recipe, interface pattern, or query recipe and try to rebuild it yourself in your environment.
