Hey @jon_chen ,

I noticed the quick links for the prep guides are showing up as page not found. They were working last week when I checked. Do you have any information on this issue? 

Thank you!

Hi All,

I want to throw a question out there which I have seen on almost every sample test I have seen so far. I want to make sure we cover what some may consider easy but people who may not have close admin experience may not be aware of.

Q: What are the two CRM systems which Marketo natively can sync with?

 

Also, I try to run through sample test questions with my team on Fridays. Please let me know if you would like to join.

Hi All,

Question of the day: Which one of these cannot be shared across workspaces:

 

I definitely saw something similar on a practice exam recently.

Hi All,

This week's focus is section 3 of the prep guide (https://app.rockinfo.com/courses/playScorm/699?%2Fcourses%2FplayScorm%2F699), Lead and Data Management.

 

I will work on a formal quiz for later this week, but here is a warmup question:

Hey @johnbo20 !

I believe the answer to this questions is MAL for the pre marketing qualified stage

Level 3
June 11, 2024

That is correct! Nice job Ashley!

  • MAL = Marketing Accepted Lead
  • MQL = Marketing Qualified Lead
  • SQL = Sales Qualified Lead

This came direct from a practice exam, so something close to this is likely on the real exam.

Just making sure everybody see this one.

 

Question on Engagement Programs (which sometimes are referred to as nurture programs).

In a real-world scenario, it is very likely that you use smart campaigns to manage moving people across streams in an engagement program. There is another way to do this with a built in solution. This is called? (Choose One)

  1. Stream Shifters
  2. People Movers
  3. Transition Rules
  4. Nested Smart Campaign

Bonus: Does this feature push or pull people in to a stream?

@johnbo20  - To manage moving people across streams in engagement program we can use Transition Rules.
This feature Pull people into a stream.

@johnbo20 ,

I agree with @rishabhtr answer, transition rule and pulls into stream.

 

This content was pulled directly from the source he provided as well: 

"Transition rules pull into a stream; always define the rules on the stream that you want to pull into."

Tricky one from a practice test. This tests your knowledge of trigger tokens and interesting moments.

 

Hint: What do you want the sales rep to see? Read out the whole line as a sentence below, and see what makes sense. They are making sure you do not have duplicative info, and they are testing that you know which tokens are supported with the 'fills out form' activity.

Helpful docs:

Please select one.

@johnbo20 ,

That question is a tricky and confusing one! But I do believe the answer is:

Filled Out Form: {{trigger. Trigger Name}} on {{trigger. Web Page}}

 

I think it's this answer because from the content it says:

  • {{trigger.Trigger Name}} which is always the actual trigger itself. For example: Clicks Link in Email.
    -This seems more action based trigger like "filled out form"
  • {{trigger.Name}} is the name of the asset that triggered the campaign. For example: Clicks Link on Webpage is the URL itself, subject for Salesforce triggers, etc.
    -This seems more like referring to just the asset itself not necessarily an action 

Like I said, this was a tricky one for me so I would love more input and guidance on this one. Thank you  😀

Level 3

So, the answer is:

Filled Out Form: {{trigger.Name}} on {{trigger.Web Page}}

 

I think the best way to explain this is that you want to have a line (the interesting moment) saying to the sales rep, "Filled Out Form: Sales Contact Form on Super Awesome Sales Page"

 

If you were to use {{trigger.Trigger Name}}, your description would say, "Filled Out Form: Filled Out Form on Super Awesome Sales Page"

 

This may be a good one to test in your sandbox or demo area to get comfortable with. Very tricky one!

 

Sample right from my instance:

From a practice exam. Not worded great, but this question does a very good job of checking your knowledge of how segmentation works in Marketo. To clarify, the categories are in priority order like a real segmentation. If somebody likes something, assume they are on the smart list.

 

Good time to mention, the exam is typically loaded with trap questions and answers. There is usually an easy choice to exclude, then the remaining choices are close. They are testing how well you can focus and pay attention to detail. Take your time 🙂

@johnbo20 ,

I believe the second answer is correct: 

 

My reasoning behind this answer is because a person can only qualify for one segment at a time and if they qualify for two segments, they will belong only to the first one on the list (depending on the order of priority established). 

Miri- Apple pie segmentation and sticky toffee smart list

Jacinda- tiramisu segmentation and apple pie smart list

Indira- sticky toffee segmentation

Christina- Tiramisu segmentation

Chiara- Donuts segmentation and tiramisu, apple pie, and sticky toffee smart list 

 

Based off this alone it makes the first and third answer incorrect.

Well done 🙂

Your logic is also sound.

Hi All,

 

A warmup to start the week on Section 4 - Reporting.

 

Q: To measure your Marketo database growth over time, you would use a:

  • Database Performance Report
  • Program Performance Report
  • Email Performance Report
  • People Performance Report

You can measure data base growth overtime with a People Performance Report

That is correct. Well done.
