I want to see if there are any users here who have experience with Salesforce administration or development.

I have worked with the platform for a few years now and have been working toward getting certified as an administrator and then hopefully some developer certs.

Does any one here have experience with the platform/is there anyone that can offer advice or getting certs.

I apologize if this is not the correct forum to post this in

I have been working as a salesforce consultant/developer for 4-5 years.

I did not study for admin cert and passed it. My old boss got his admin cert by finding answer dumps for it. Admin cert is full of answer dumps.
*edit - old boss was an old sales guy who didn't understand "technology", but memorized the dumps.

The developer cert you will not find answer dumps. It is very important to know "execution order." I also suggest the trail mix or "focus on force" study material and the "trailmixes." I have found the trailmixes are pretty accurate as to what will be on tests.

Thanks for the advice, i've been using FocusOnForce for some practice tests for the admin cert and will probably circle back on those as in perpetration for that one.
