How the PD1 practice test works

A short setup, then questions at your own pace. You can skip a question or finish early at any point.

  1. Tell us about your exam

    Your exam date, what the certification is for, and which domains worry you. One tap per question.

  2. Practise with answers explained

    16 questions from every domain. After each one you see the right answer and a short explanation.

  3. See what to study next

    Your score against the 90% readiness line, your weakest domains, and where to start.

Everything you need to pass the PD1, in one plan

A practice test shows you where you stand. Passing takes a plan that turns that into the right study, every day, until you are ready. Every plan connects these tools.

A guide to the PD1 practice test

How the questions are chosen, how to study with them, and what your score tells you.

This free PD1 practice test is built for the learning stage of your preparation. It draws 16 questions from all 8 domains of the Salesforce Platform Developer I exam outline, so one sitting touches every area of the syllabus, not just the topics you already like. The full bank behind it has 7,009 questions. Each question shows the correct answer and a short explanation as soon as you respond, which turns a wrong answer into something you remember.

How the PD1 questions are weighted

The PD1 exam does not treat its domains equally. Salesforce Fundamentals and Data Model carries 23% of the exam and Working with Data in Apex (SOQL and SOSL) carries 18%. Together, the three heaviest domains account for 58% of your score, while Debugging and Deployment is the lightest at 7%. The practice test samples every domain, and your report ranks them by how many marks each one is costing you, so you can see whether a weak score sits in a domain that matters a lot or one that matters a little.

How to study with PD1 practice questions

Practice questions work best as a study tool rather than a score check. A method that holds up:

  1. Answer before you look. Commit to an option, even when you are unsure, so the explanation corrects a real decision instead of confirming a guess you never made.
  2. Read every explanation, including the ones you got right. A correct guess is still a gap, and the exam will find it.
  3. Keep a short error log by domain. Patterns appear after twenty or thirty questions, not after one.
  4. Fix your weakest heavy domain first, then retest it. Moving from 50% to 70% in a heavily weighted domain lifts your overall score more than polishing one you already know.

What your PD1 practice score means

Your result is shown against a 90% readiness line. Below about 60% in a domain, the material is still new: go back to the PD1 study guide before practising more. Between 60% and 89%, you know the ideas but miss the details the exam tests, which is where practice questions with explanations help most. At 90% or above, keep that domain fresh with an occasional set and spend your time elsewhere. One short test is a snapshot, so read a single score as a direction rather than a verdict.

PD1 practice test or mock exam?

Practice questions with instant feedback are for learning. Once most of your domains sit near the ready line, switch to the timed PD1 mock exam, which runs under exam conditions with no feedback until the end. The real exam fee is listed as $200, so checking your readiness before you book is time well spent.

PD1 practice test questions, answered

Most people practise first, then decide on a plan once they see their weak domains.

Is this PD1 practice test free?

Yes. The 16-question PD1 practice test is free with no card. We ask a few setup questions and your first name and email, so we can send your report.

How many questions are in the free PD1 practice test?

16 questions drawn from all 8 domains, weighted the way the real exam weights them. The full bank has 7,009 questions.

Does the PD1 practice test show answers and explanations?

Yes. After each question you see whether you were right, the correct answer, and an explanation. The full reasoning, including why each wrong option is wrong, comes with a plan.

Can I skip PD1 practice questions?

Yes. Skip any question and come back to the topic later. Skipped questions are listed in your report so you know what to revisit.

Is the PD1 practice test timed?

No. It is for learning, so there is no countdown. The clock shows how long you have spent. For exam conditions, use the timed PD1 mock exam.

What is the difference between the PD1 practice test and the mock exam?

The practice test explains every answer as you go, so you learn while you test. The mock exam runs under exam conditions with a timer and no feedback until the end. Most people practise first, then sit the mock.

What topics does the PD1 practice test cover?

All 8 domains of the Salesforce Platform Developer I blueprint: Salesforce Fundamentals and Data Model (23%), Working with Data in Apex (SOQL and SOSL) (18%), Apex (Core Programming) (17%), Lightning Web Components (LWC) (10%), Testing (9%), Visualforce (8%), Declarative Tools (8%), Debugging and Deployment (7%).

What do I get at the end of the PD1 practice test?

Your score against the 90% readiness line, your 2 weakest domains, and what to study first. A plan adds every domain score, a study roadmap to your exam date, mock exams and a tutor.

What are the PD1 plans?

Three ways to get ready: Monthly Access ($49 a month), Practice Mode ($199 once, valid until you pass) and Pass Mode, a guided plan with support until you are exam-ready. Every plan includes the readiness diagnostic, a study roadmap built from your results, adaptive practice and a tutor.

How much does the PD1 exam cost?

The exam fee is listed as $200. Check the official exam provider for current pricing.
