About the Appian Certified Lead Developer practice exam

This is a free set of original study questions for developers preparing for the Appian Certified Lead Developer exam (formerly ACD301). Appian publishes the exam length as 45 questions in 90 minutes with a 54% pass mark, so the practice test uses a similar length and time limit to help you practise pacing. Questions are drawn at random from a larger pool, and every answer comes with an explanation.

Every question is written by AppianVerse contributors; none are taken from any Appian exam, and AppianVerse is not affiliated with Appian. Passing this practice test is not a prediction of your result on the real exam.

Who it is for: lead developers and architects with three or more years of Appian experience.

Topics covered: Platform Architecture, Scaling, Multi-Application Design, Concurrency, Custom Plug-ins and Project Management.

3. Submit to see your score, a pass/fail verdict and a per-topic breakdown.
4. Review every question with the correct answer and explanation, then retake with a fresh set.
