These 10 free ACSDE questions are organized by exam domain, so you can see how each part of the Adobe Campaign Standard Developer Expert blueprint is tested. Reveal the answer and explanation under each question.

Domain 1: Data modeling and management 26% of exam

Question 1

Two reservation systems feed a Reservation custom resource linked to Profiles. Reservation numbers are unique and never reused within each source, but the sources can issue the same number to the same customer. Updates must still match the original reservation if its owning profile is corrected. Which business key meets these requirements?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - A composite key combining source system with that source's reservation number.

Question 2

The nightly CRM status feed legitimately includes both existing Campaign customers and prospects not yet admitted to Campaign. The approved import must update matching customers, create no profiles, and leave subscription preferences untouched. CRM customer ID is the stable unique match key. After Load file, which Update data configuration meets that contract?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Use Update, match on CRM customer ID, and map only the status field.

Question 3

Integration tests read email and firstName successfully from /profileAndServices/profile. A new loyaltyTier field is populated in Campaign and visible to a workflow. Publication succeeded, the extension API was created, and its preview includes the field. The integration still cannot retrieve loyaltyTier. What should be changed first?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Read the profile through /profileAndServicesExt/profile.

Domain 2: Campaign management 50% of exam

Question 4

A stock-alert workflow runs at 08:00 and 16:00. Its query supplies new eligible profiles on both runs, but the recurring Email delivery uses daily aggregation. The afternoon run needs a separately prepared delivery. What configuration change addresses this requirement?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Set the recurring delivery's aggregation period to No aggregation.

Question 5

Guest checkout posts an event containing an email address, order number, and receipt total. Many guests have no Campaign profile. Each receipt must be triggered by its checkout event without creating a profile or waiting for a scheduled workflow. Personalization needs only the event attributes. Select the appropriate transactional targeting design.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Target the real-time event; use its address and receipt attributes.

Question 6

A newsletter has two published signup pages linked to the same service. A new subscriber receives two confirmation emails after using Page North but one after using Page South; only one subscription record is created in either case. The service sends confirmations, and Page North also has Start sending message enabled. Both pages must keep subscribing visitors, with one confirmation each. Where should the duplicate be removed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Disable Page North's page-triggered confirmation; preserve the service-level confirmation.

Question 7

A profile-targeted email uses the correct fatigue typology. Preparation with a contact date excludes customers whose contact limits are exhausted. Without changing the audience, rule, or history, an operator selects Send immediately and prepares again; the fatigue exclusions disappear. How should the developer restore fatigue enforcement without changing the rule's scope?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Set a contact date and prepare again with the same fatigue typology.

Question 8

During an email send, an address reached successfully last week returns Mailbox full. The address is not quarantined, the delivery remains within its validity period, and no unsubscribe request or spam complaint has been received. An operator proposes setting the profile's email denylist flag. Which response preserves correct handling of this failure?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Allow temporary-failure retries without changing the profile's email consent.

Domain 3: Administration 24% of exam

Question 9

Elena belongs only to a security group assigned to Europe/France. The group grants Workflow and Prepare deliveries. She can prepare a delivery owned by France but cannot send it. She is now authorized to send French deliveries, with no access to the parallel Europe/Germany branch. Which is the least-privilege change for this assignment?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Add Start deliveries to her existing France-scoped security group.

Question 10

A release adds a workflow template, an external SFTP account, and a User-type application option. No custom resource structure has changed. An administrator is considering the built-in Platform and Administration exports. Which statement correctly describes how these three objects are packaged?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Administration includes all three, including the application option because its type is User.
