List of questions
Question 11

A large university is planning to release a new recruitment and admissions solution using Salesforce. The university is closely evaluating a launch window in conjunction with the campus calendar.
Where should the university confirm the Salesforce product release dates that could impact the timeline?
Explanation:
The university can confirm the Salesforce product release dates that could impact the timeline on the Salesforce Trust website. The Salesforce Trust website provides information about the maintenance schedule, release calendar, and release readiness for Salesforce products. The university can use this information to plan their launch window in conjunction with the campus calendar. Trailhead, Setup Menu, and Partner Community are not places where the university can confirm the Salesforce product release dates.

Question 12

The Marketing department at a college emails former students twice a year informing them of upcoming fundraising events. The department is concern about the number of bounced emails it receives.
Which solution should the Marketing team consider that will enable former students to update their email address?
Explanation:
Experience Cloud is a solution that the Marketing team can consider that will enable former students to update their email address. Experience Cloud allows the college to create a branded online community where former students can log in, view and edit their profile information, and interact with other alumni. Experience Cloud also integrates with Salesforce, so any changes made by the former students in the community will be reflected in their Contact records. Social Studio, Salesforce Engage, and Salesforce Inbox are not solutions that can enable former students to update their email address.

Question 13

A university providers corporate training options to local businesses. The university wants to offer a seamless experience to students and allow them to select and purchase available courses.
Which solution should the consultant recommend to meet the requirement?
Explanation:
A third-party app is a solution that the consultant can recommend to meet the requirement of offering a seamless experience to students and allowing them to select and purchase available courses. A third-party app is an application that provides additional features and solutions for Salesforce. There are many third-party apps on the AppExchange that offer e-commerce and online learning capabilities, such as course catalog, shopping cart, payment processing, and course delivery. The consultant can help the university choose an app that meets their needs and budget. Salesforce CPQ, Financial Service Cloud, and Salesforce Files are not solutions that can offer a seamless experience to students and allow them to select and purchase available courses.

Question 15

A consultant is working with a customer who already uses Salesforce and wants to install the Education Data Architecture (EDA). The consultant has confirmed that EDA can work in the customer's existing environment.
Which location should the consultant visit to install EDA in the existing environment?
Explanation:
The Salesforce AppExchange is the location that the consultant should visit to install EDA in the existing environment. The Salesforce AppExchange is an online marketplace where customers can find, try, and install apps, components, and packages that extend the functionality of Salesforce. EDA is listed as a free app for education customers on the Salesforce AppExchange. The consultant can use the EDA installer page, which is a web-based tool that allows the consultant to log in to the desired org, validate the pre-install requirements, and install EDA with a few clicks.The EDA installer page can be accessed from the Salesforce AppExchange or from the direct link2.
Question 16

A university's Study Abroad office is getting ready to implement Salesforce to streamline internal processes. In the past, most of the work was done using spreadsheets and paper. The office is unsure of which metrics to use to determine whether the implementation project is successful.
Which metric should the consultant recommend?
Explanation:
The percentage of staff logins each month is a metric that the consultant can recommend to measure the success of the Salesforce implementation project for the Study Abroad office. This metric can indicate the level of user adoption, satisfaction, and engagement with the new system, as well as the effectiveness of the training and change management strategies.A high percentage of staff logins each month can show that the staff are using Salesforce regularly and consistently to streamline their internal processes, such as managing student applications, tracking program status, and communicating with partners2.
The number of student phone inquiries and the volume of emails to the office are not valid metrics for this scenario, as they do not reflect the impact of the Salesforce implementation on the internal processes of the Study Abroad office. These metrics may be influenced by other factors, such as the demand for study abroad programs, the quality of the website and marketing materials, and the availability and responsiveness of the staff. These metrics may also not capture the efficiency and accuracy of the data and workflows that Salesforce can provide.
Question 17

A university has hired a consultant to help it plan the campus's enterprise roadmap for Salesforce. The CIO wants to use a single. Salesforce org across the university and is interested in learning more about the Education Data Architecture (EDA). The university has two existing Salesforce orgs, one uses Person Accounts, and the other org uses a custom data architecture.
What should the consultant do first lo assess the situation?
Explanation:
The first thing that the consultant should do to assess the situation is to document solution requirements from the groups involved. This will help the consultant understand the current state, pain points, goals, and needs of each group that uses or will use Salesforce, and how they relate to each other. This will also help the consultant determine whether EDA is a suitable solution for all groups, or whether some customization or integration is needed. Submitting a Salesforce Support case to merge orgs, installing EDA into one of the production environments, and creating a new Salesforce org using EDA as the foundation are not good first steps, because they do not involve gathering requirements from the stakeholders, and they may cause data loss or disruption.

Question 18

A CRM committee for a university has asked a consultant about the major release cadence of Salesforce.org and Salesforce.com platform enhancements.
When are Salesforce.org releases?
Explanation:
Salesforce.org releases are approximately two weeks after Salesforce.com releases. This means that Salesforce.org customers can benefit from both platform enhancements and industry-specific solutions in a timely manner. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the actual release cadence of Salesforce.org.

Question 19

An institution's Office of Career Services wants a solution that allows students to schedule appointments with any available .......... directly from a portal.
Which feature should the consultant recommend to meet the requirement?
Explanation:
Advising Pools is a feature that allows students to schedule appointments with any available advisor directly from a portal. Advising Pools enables advisors to set their availability and preferences, and students to see which advisors match their needs and book appointments accordingly. Email to Case, Success Teams, and Early Alerts are not features that allow students to schedule appointments with advisors from a portal.

Question 20

A college wants to extend its existing Education Data Architecture org to support the Advancement department's fundraising needs.
What should the consultant recommend to meet the requirement?
Explanation:
Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) is a solution that the consultant can recommend to meet the requirement of extending EDA org to support fundraising needs. NPSP is built on top of EDA and provides features such as donations management, gift processing, donor engagement, and reporting. Gift Entry Manager, Giving Pages, and Elevate are not solutions that can extend EDA org to support fundraising needs, but rather tools that can work with NPSP to enhance the fundraising experience.
