    Thematic Area, Reporting Period, Implementation Plan, Activity, Financial, Submission,
    Risk).

  • How Amp Impact objects relate to each other.

  • How to use and set up Amp’s indicator management functionality, including aggregated
    and disaggregated indicators.

  • How Amp Impact objects commonly interplay or connect with standard Salesforce
    features, like Chatter, Reports/Dashboards, and automation tools.

About the Exam 

The exam consists of 40 multiple-choice and “true or false” questions. Exam takers should be careful to read each question carefully, including how many answers should be selected (in some cases, it’s two, three, or all that apply).

The exam consists of a mix of technical questions, relevant subject matter questions, and case study questions that revolve around real-world use cases. In terms of style, it’s broadly designed similar to Salesforce certification exams.
