73% to pass. Where builders lose the points.

The App Builder exam is 60 scored questions, needs a 73% passing score and costs US$200. The misses are rarely about knowing where a setting lives. They come from scenario questions where two answers both work, and only one fits the requirement.

Which flow type? Before-save or after-save? Master-detail or lookup? Change set or package? Cert Lab drills those decisions, and every answer explains why the other options lose.

1. Pick the right automation

Choosing a flow type, fast field updates vs actions and related records, validation rules and approvals.

2. Model the data right

Master-detail vs lookup: sharing, deletion, roll-ups and converting one to the other.

3. Ship it safely

Sandbox types, change sets, validation and managed vs unmanaged packages.

Your instructor

Nick Frates

Nick Frates, senior Salesforce developer

Nick teaches declarative automation every day: his 27-hour Salesforce Flows course on Udemy covers record-triggered, before-save, scheduled and screen flows, the same decisions App Builder tests.

This course is for builders who click before they code. Every fact comes from a fully loaded Salesforce Help or Trailhead page, and each lesson lists its sources and the date it was checked.

Who it's for

Admins and business analysts who build declaratively, people heading for their first builder cert, and anyone who has done Trailhead but wants exam-style practice.

Who it's not for

Anyone looking for real exam questions (there are none here) or complete beginners to Salesforce. Start with the free Admin course instead.

Questions

Is it current?

Yes. It follows the current official exam guide, which aligns questions to the SU '26 release, and all 5 sections were checked against Salesforce Help and Trailhead on Oct 11, 2026.

How long do I have access?

12 months from the day you buy.

What if it's not for me?

Email refunds@nickfrates.com within 30 days for a full refund. See the refund policy.

Are these real exam questions?

No. Every scenario is written from the public exam objectives and Salesforce Help. Using real exam questions breaks Salesforce's certification rules.

Do I need to code?

No. App Builder is mostly declarative. The course explains where code fits, such as Lightning web components, so you can recognize it on the exam.

Do I need a paid Salesforce org?

No. A free Developer Edition org covers the hands-on tasks.

Does it guarantee a pass?

No. It gives you 365 explained practice questions across all 5 sections, and links every fact to its official source.

Get to 73% with room to spare.

All 5 sections, 365 practice questions, $9.99.
