The Plat-101 exam, officially titled Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations, is the qualifying test for the Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations certification from Salesforce, a credential at the Entry / Foundational level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Salesforce Certified Administrator, Salesforce Certified Associate.

The Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations exam gives you 70 minutes to work through 40-45 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the ExamPrepAway test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 62% to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 75. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the ExamPrepAway practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

No mandatory prerequisites; recommended up to 6 months of Salesforce experience or beginner-level training Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: Salesforce Plat-101 exam overview.
