In this blog, we’re going to unpack how to study for the Salesforce Revenue Cloud Accredited Professional exam. The main reason that people feel this exam is a bit challenging is only one that the exam is fully based on real-time use cases of CPQ. In the exam, questions are mostly related to the corner use cases that you can achieve through the configuration, and no customization is required.

According to my experience, I suggest that if you understand CPQ Basic is not enough to pass the exam. To clear this exam, try to build the skillset to apply CPQ in the real world and also understand all the capabilities available in the CPQ product which is really helpful in designing the best solution.
