Which certification does the AD0-E556 exam lead to?

The AD0-E556 exam is the official Adobe exam behind the Adobe Marketo Engage certification, validating the skills measured by the Adobe Marketo Engage Architect credential. It sits at the Master level of the Adobe certification program. It also connects to Adobe Certified Expert - Marketo Engage Business Practitioner, Adobe Certified Master - Marketo Engage Architect, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the AD0-E556 exam, and how much time do I get?

The AD0-E556 exam contains 50 questions to be completed within 150 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the AD0-E556 exam is 30/50, and the official registration fee is $225 USD.

Adobe Marketo Engage Architect Sample Questions:

Question #1
An Adobe Marketo Engage Consultant is assigned to audit an existing Marketo Engage instance. The instance is 2 years old and follows a de-centralized model for program execution. Therefore, all marketers within the organization have been trained to operate and build in the Marketo Engage instance independently. During the audit, the consultant discovers:
1. Naming convention does not exist. Therefore, all program names are named arbitrarily.
2. There are four Marketo Engage Admins: The marketing operations manager, the demand generation manager, the CRM administrator, and the IT manager. All four admins have access to everything and have been creating fields on their own to fit individual business needs.
3. There is one workspace for the entire instance. However, the company has paid for additional workspaces.
4. There are two Revenue Lifecycle Models: a prospect lifecycle and a customer lifecycle.
The CMO wants to prioritize the following goals:
1. Ability to pull quick reports for prospect programs and customer programs from a reporting tool like Tableau.
2. Change the operating model from de-centralized to centralized so the marketing operations manager and CRM administrator are the only two people managing the operational side of the Marketo Engage instance and a new agency will manage the campaign execution on the behalf of marketing.
Which three recommendations should the Consultant make? (Choose three.)

A. Create two workspaces: An operational workspace and a marketing workspace
B. Create a folder structure to organize customer vs prospect campaigns
C. Create two workspaces: A prospect workspace and a customer workspace
D. Increase the access for the marketing operations manager and CRM administrator to super admin so they can override the field creations from others
E. Create a naming convention that tags customer vs prospect campaigns
F. Reduce the access for the demand generation manager and IT manager to a limited role that cannot create fields

Question #2
The VP of Marketing is concerned about the workload of the marketing team and wants to hire an agency to assist the team by building campaigns and programs within their Adobe Marketo Engage instance. The biggest concern is adding users who may be able to access and accidentally break established templates, nurture campaigns, and scoring. Therefore, the users will only be able to work in the Marketing Activities area.
The agency will have access to building programs, campaigns, emails, and landing pages.
What is the best set of user role permissions for the agency users?

A. Edit Marketing Asset, Edit Campaign, Activate Trigger Campaign, Clone Marketing Asset
B. Access Email, Access Landing Page, Web Campaign Editor, Edit Marketing Asset
C. Edit Marketing Asset, Access Email, Access Landing Page, Export Analytics Data
D. Web Campaign Editor, Access Email, Activate Trigger Campaign, Clone Marketing Asset

Question #3
A Sales team reports to Marketing that they receive false MQLs regularly. The Adobe Marketo Engage instance has three fields to track lead scores:
* "Total Score" is a sum of Behavior and Demographic Scores.
* A prospect gets graduated to MQL as soon as "Behavior Score" changes to 100 or greater and 'Demographic Score" must be at least 20.
* All "Demographic Score" smart campaigns are set up using "Person is Created" trigger with no filters.
The Marketo Engage Administrator audits the false MQLs and learns that most of them received a
"Demographic Score" of +20 for being in a target "Job Title" and preferred "Country". Their "Demographic Scoring" was not completed. They received -10 for the "Industry" because these false MQLs are from Universities.
Which two sets of actions should the Architect take to stop sending the false MQLs to the Sales team? (Choose two.)

A. Use trigger "Score is Changed" on "Demographic Field"
In the Flow steps, use "Wait", "Remove from Flow", and "Change Data Value" for updating
"Demographic MQL Score" field
B. Use trigger "Score is Changed" on "Demographic Field"
In the Flow steps, use "Change Score", "Remove from Flow", and "Change Data Value" for updating "Demographic MQL Score" field
C. Create a Boolean field and Smart-Campaign called "Demographic MQL Score" Update the MQL Smart Campaign to use "Demographic MQL Score = True" as a filter and as a trigger
D. Create a Score field and Smart-Campaign called "Demographic MQL Score" Update the MQL Smart Campaign to use "Demographic MQL Score = True" as a filter and as a trigger
E. Use trigger "Not Score is Changed" on "Demographic Field"
In the Flow steps, use "Change Score", "Remove from Flow", and "Change Data Value" for updating "Demographic MQL Score" field

Question #4
A consultant conducts an audit on a company's Adobe Marketo Engage instance and discovers:
* The instance hits its API limit twice a month, affecting leads from multiple third-party integrations from being consistently created or updated automatically.
* The field "Country' is set as a text field, which results in inconsistent variations and misspellings of the country value, leading to the inability to route leads to the proper regional sales team.
* There is a Segmentation called "Reqion", which is defined by the "Country" field values; due to the inconsistency of the field, a majority of the person records sit in the "Default" segment.
* Lead routing is based on the "Region" segment, and there is no logic set in the routing to account for the
"Default" leads.
After sharing these findings with a group of stakeholders, the stakeholders share:
* The Data Science team uses the Marketo Engage API to pull data out of the instance twice a month for an executive dashboard that tracks quarterly goals.
* The Sales team is extremely below target for qualified leads because the volume routed to them is so low.
* The Web team has reported on below-average form conversions because too many fields are open text.
* The Marketing team wants to send nurture emails that are localized based on the "Region" Segmentation.
The end of the quarter is 1 month away.
What is the first action the consultant should take?

A. Change the ' Country" field from a text field to a string field to standardize the values
B. Advise the company to increase its API limits to solve the API issue
C. Advise the Data Science team to minimize their API query to reduce the consumption of the API limit
D. Create a daily re-occurring batch that standardizes "Country" into clean values

Question #5

Scenario 1: Automatically clone existing default programs on Marketo, build the email using the RSS feed of blog section, and schedule the email on every Thursday.
Scenario 2: Before deleting any record on Marketo, push the data to "Donor System".
How should the Marketo Engage Architect approach the platform integration?

A. Scenario 1 - Use Email Scripting and Scenario 2 - Use REST API
B. Scenario 1 - Use REST API and Scenario 2 - Use Webhook
C. Scenario 1 - Use JavaScript API and Scenario 2 - Use REST API
