The answer is that it really depends on you. You\u2019re the best judge of your current schedule and how much time you can commit to studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about Trailhead is that your learning really <em>is<\/em> up to you. How does studying fit into your schedule? Can you carve out a few minutes in between meetings or during your commute? Our on-the-go tools and \u201cpick up where you left off\u201d modules mean that no matter how much time you have, you can probably squeeze in a little learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And keep in mind that there\u2019s no hurry to get certified. You\u2019re working toward a goal here, which is to make sure you\u2019ve really grasped all the key concepts in a certain module \u2014 because these are concepts you need to build on for the next module. So, take your time and learn at a pace that works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re nervous about making a time commitment or you\u2019ve been putting off the exam because you\u2019re afraid to fail, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/proven-strategies-for-salesforce-certification-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">don\u2019t let that hold you back<\/a>!

You\u2019ll always know the total amount of time you have remaining, and you can easily mark a question to come back to later \u2014 so don\u2019t let any single question take up too much of your time. Simply mark it for review and revisit it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take advantage of available resources.<\/strong> If you\u2019re taking the exam in person, the testing centre will allow you three sheets of paper, which you can use to jot down notes, keywords, and important concepts that you\u2019re afraid of forgetting. Have one concept you continually brain freeze on? Memorised an acronym or mnemonic device that helps you remember it? Jot that down as soon as you get to your station. Your testing time doesn\u2019t start until you hit the start button, so take a few moments in the beginning to get prepared.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-are-there-more-resources\"><strong>6.
