How I studied?
- Went through the ebook and all its recommended activities.
- Followed flash cards and quizelts.
- Played around in an org. eg. query optimisation and bulk api.
- Few questions in data quality and master data management area. Including questions such as How to identify what is the "system of record"?
- Data Migration - How to optimise SOQL queries, using indexes and what are the best practices.
- Usage of skinny tables, standard indexes / custom indexes. No questions regarding index thresholds though.
- Improve performance - When to use bulk api?
- Even though PK chunking and parallel execution of bulk api were widely discussed, I didn't get any questions in those topics.
- Also there were questions on scenarios where outbound messages were used to send information 3rd parties.
