Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing for the Appian Associate Developer (L1) certification and I’m relatively new to Appian. I would really appreciate some guidance on where I can find mock/practice tests that closely resemble the actual exam in terms of difficulty and question style.

I recently scored 88% on the Associate Developer Practice Test.

If anyone has recently cleared the Appian L1 exam, could you please share some guidance on how you prepared and which practice resources or mock tests you found most useful?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ​@dr635942 ,

Firstly, I would suggest you to explore the Appian Documentation thoroughly, Hands - On is very important.

Actual certification is not that related to the practice test you attempted, Questions will be more tough, if you are a novice.

There are few Resources to be considered before you take the certification -

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!!!
