Pardot Certification Mock Questions

Are you planning on taking a Pardot certification and want to test your knowledge? I’ve created a series of questions to help determine if you are ready to take the certification. Please be aware that these questions are not taken or memorized from the actual certification, rather they are created from scratch in order to make sure that relevant Pardot areas are covered. Hence you cannot expect that these questions will appear on the actual certification.

Note: this blog is written with the Summer 17 release and the questions have not been (and will not be) updated since. Hence things new features have been added to Pardot and existing features may have been modified and answers may no longer be correct.
