I passed my App Builder certification just now! I’ll give some pointers I remembered regarding my exam.

Here's my Notion template for studying for Salesforce certification exams. It has served me well so far. Enjoy!
Is Salesforce study material free?
Salesforce study materials are mostly free (!) but it’s worth paying for things like Focus on Force if you’re serious about achieving your goals. I also invested a significant amount of my time, approximately 2 hours a day, for 3 months in a row.

The graduation from one type of freelancing to another is a big decision. Aside from all the practical considerations I’ve covered so far, I ask that you pause for some introspection before diving in!
