HubSpot Inbound Marketing Certification Question Types:

HubSpot focused on real-time problems instead of theoretical concepts in inbound marketing. They are more likely to ask different scenarios and situation oriented questions in the certification exam.

Sometimes it is difficult to find the answer as most of the answers are correct as per your understanding, but you have to learn to choose the best-suited option out of them. All the answers are closly-nit, you need to pay a lot of attention to eliminate the options. The elimination method works well, in this case, most of the time.

For example, You’ve joined a startup company. Before building out your content strategy, you’ll need to develop your company’s primary buyer persona. What’s the appropriate order for developing the buyer persona for your startup?

  • A) Research, identify trends and create persona stories
  • B) Create persona story, test and optimize, and make assumptions
  • C) Make assumptions, identify trends, and ask company employees for input
  • D) A buyer persona shouldn’t be developed at this time

Now, when you will read the guide and watch the course videos, you will see that no assumptions should be made while developing the buyer persona. Based on that you can eliminate the option 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. That’s how it works! you can make this kind of pointers to remember.

This is a quick way to get certified for sure. But the courses HubSpot offers, have amazing stuff. The videos and tutorials are outstanding, full of knowledge and case-studies, examples which will help you develop a better understanding of Inbound Marketing.

You should try these approaches and I am sure you will definitely get certified in one go. You can connect with me to get to know more about inbound marketing or follow me on Twitter. Hope it will help you creaking the exam.
