Common Questions About the Salesforce Plat-Dev-301 Exam
What is the Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II - Multiple Choice exam all about?
The Plat-Dev-301 exam is the official Salesforce exam behind the Salesforce Developer certification, validating the skills measured by the Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II - Multiple Choice credential. It sits at the Intermediate level of the Salesforce certification program. It also connects to Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the Plat-Dev-301 exam, and how much time do I get?
The Plat-Dev-301 exam contains 60 (+ up to 5 unscored) questions to be completed within 120 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.
What score do I need to pass the Plat-Dev-301 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the Plat-Dev-301 exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is USD 400. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 204 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
