Hi everyone,

I am currently preparing for the ServiceNow Certified Application Developer (CAD) exam.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could share:

Practice questions or sample scenarios similar to the exam
Important topics to focus on
Any preparation tips or resources that helped you

As a fresher, I am trying to strengthen my understanding of core concepts like scripting, Flow Designer, App Engine Studio, and UI policies.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Start with the Exam blueprint. It will tell you what topics are important.

And just use the material from NowLearning and practice with your own ideas on a PDI.

Flow Designer, scripting (Business Rules/Client Scripts), and App Engine Studio scenarios should be emphasized more than just theory when I'm studying for the ServiceNow CAD exam. Make small apps and go back to the UI Policies + data model questions because they frequently come in scenario-based form. For structured practice questions and exam-style revision, some learners also mention CertifyCerts as a helpful resource alongside the official docs and Now Learning materials.
