Question 1
An org has a requirement that an Account must always have one and only one Contact listed as Primary. So selecting one Contact will de-select any others. The client wants a checkbox on the Contact called 'Is Primary' to control this feature. The client also wants to ensure that the last name of every Contact is stored entirely in uppercase characters. What is the optimal way to implement these requirements?
Question 2
Universal Containers (UC) has enabled the translation workbench and has translated picklist values. UC has a custom multi-select picklist field, Products__c , on the Account object that allows sales reps to specify which of UC’s products an Account already has. A developer is tasked with writing an Apex method that retrieves Account records, including the Products__c field. What should the developer do to ensure the value of Products__c is in the current user’s language?
Question 3
Which statement is considered a best practice for writing bulk safe Apex triggers?
Question 4
Universal Containers decided to use Salesforce to manage a new hire interview process. A custom object called Candidate was created with organization-wide defaults set to Private. A lookup on the Candidate object sets an employee as an Interviewer. What should be used to automatically give Read access to the record when the lookup field is set to the Interviewer user?
Question 5
A business requires that every parent record must have a child record. A developer writes an Apex method with two DML statements to insert a parent record and a child record. A validation rule blocks child records from being created. The method uses a try/catch block to handle the DML exception. What should the developer do to ensure the parent always has a child record?
Question 6
A developer wrote the following method to find all the test accounts in the org: public static Account[] searchTestAccounts(){ List<List<SObject>> searchList = [ FIND 'test' IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account(Name)]; return (Account[]) searchList[0]; } However, the test method below fails. @isTest public static void testSearchTestAccounts(){ Account a = new Account(name='test'); insert a; Account [] accounts = TestAccountFinder.searchTestAccounts(); System.assert(accounts.size() == 1 ); } What should be used to fix this failing test?

Platform Developer II Practice and Access FAQs

Understand review, study tools and access before choosing your next step.

Who verifies the questions and answers?

Subject matter expert trainers in each niche review every question and answer before it enters the ExamPrepare database. Answer votes and discussions add perspectives after publication; they do not replace this review. Learn more on our methodology page.

How closely does the simulator match an exam?

The simulator uses vendor-style layouts and supported question interactions to help you practise navigation and pacing. Choose learning, practice or timed exam mode. Formats vary by exam; try the five-question sample to see the experience available for your certification.

What are hot questions?

Hot questions help you prioritise questions with stronger reporting or answer-vote activity. In the reading library, the filter selects questions with at least three recorded sightings or at least three votes for an answer. It has no recency cutoff and does not predict your exam questions. Use it alongside weaker topics and the exam objectives.

Can I read questions without starting a simulation?

Yes. Paid reading access lets you display 6, 10, 25, 50 or 100 questions per page, select a question range, filter for hot questions and show answers while reading. Choose the simulator whenever you want a learning, practice or timed exam session.

Can I download questions and answers as a PDF?

Each exam overview offers a free PDF sample of up to 10 supported questions. With paid reading access, you can also export supported single- and multiple-choice questions with their answers and images. Interactive question formats need the website and are not included as interactive PDF exercises.

How do votes and discussions relate to verified answers?

SME trainers review the questions and answers before publication. Imported answer reports show aggregate responses, while on-site votes and comments reflect participation on ExamPrepare. Use discussion to compare reasoning and investigate disagreements; a majority vote alone does not prove an answer correct.

What does a purchase unlock?

A purchase unlocks the complete question bank for the selected exam, access without CAPTCHA checks, reading controls, supported PDF exports and full learning, practice and timed simulation features. It covers that exam for the duration of the plan you choose, rather than every certification in the catalogue.

Where can I find my purchased exams and expiry dates?

Sign in to the account used for your purchase and open your profile. Your purchased exam library shows study links and access expiry dates so you can return to an exam and check how much access time remains.
