Concepts to Revise

Based on the questions on this page, these are the areas most worth revising.

Lightning Web Components

  • Lifecycle hooks: constructor, connectedCallback, renderedCallback, disconnectedCallback
  • Decorators: @api, @track, @wire and when each is needed
  • Parent to child and child to parent communication using properties and custom events
  • Lightning Data Service and the uiRecordApi functions
  • Calling Apex: wire versus imperative, and cacheable methods
  • Template directives: if:true, for:each, key and lwc:if

Security and Administration

  • Organization-wide defaults and the role hierarchy
  • Profiles, permission sets and permission set groups
  • Field-level security and object permissions
  • Sharing rules and manual sharing
  • Validation rules and bypass techniques
  • Record types, page layouts and Lightning pages

Apex

  • Governor limits for SOQL, DML, CPU time and heap size
  • Bulkification: no SOQL or DML inside loops
  • Sharing keywords and how they affect record access
  • Asynchronous Apex: future, queueable, batch and schedulable
  • Test classes: test data, System.assert, Test.startTest and Test.stopTest
  • Collections and wrapper classes

How to Prepare

The questions on this page lean towards Lightning Web Components, Security and Administration and Apex. Spend most of your revision time there, then cover the remaining topics lightly.

  • Build one small component that uses @wire, an imperative Apex call and a custom event, and be ready to explain each part.
  • Draw the sharing model on paper: OWD first, then roles and sharing rules, then permission sets on top.
  • Practise explaining governor limits and bulkification with a real example from your own project.
  • Say your answers out loud. Interviewers listen for clear, structured explanations, not memorised definitions.
  • Prepare one or two real examples from your own projects for the general questions.
