My Experience
This exam was 2nd architect exam for me. Its not that much easy if we compare it with Sharing and Visibility Exam. But if you do good preparation and study all topics mentioned in resource guides, then you can easily crack it. Good understanding of data and security/sharing model in an LDV (large data volume) environment and best practices around LDV migration are required for preparing for the exam. Following are most important topics:
- Large Data Volumes (LDV)
- Skinny Tables
- Indexes
- Data Loading(LDV)
