Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist (MC-201) — Questions Candidates Actually Ask
The MC-201 exam, officially known as Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist, is the Salesforce test that leads to the Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Specialist certification at the Specialist level. Passing it validates the skills employers expect from a certified professional. It is also associated with related credentials such as Salesforce Marketer Certification.
The MC-201 exam contains 60-65 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts.

The passing score for the MC-201 exam is 72%, and the official registration fee is USD 200 (retake: USD 100).
