Need Help Understanding the SAP Scenario-Based Assessment
Hi everyone,
I recently attempted the SAP SuccessFactors Learning (THR88) certification in the new scenario-based exam format, and unfortunately, I didn't pass. The passing score is 60%, and I scored 56%.
This was my first-ever SAP certification, and in hindsight, going into a completely new exam format without knowing what to expect probably wasn't the best idea.
What surprised me the most is that I actually felt confident while taking the exam. I have a few months of hands-on experience working in SuccessFactors Learning (LMS), and I spent a lot of time studying. I focused on understanding the concepts instead of memorizing answers, and during the exam, I genuinely felt my responses made sense.
That's why failing came as such a shock.
The biggest problem is that I have no idea what went wrong, so I'm struggling to figure out what I should improve before my next attempt.
I'm wondering things like:
- Were my answers too long or too short?
- Should the responses be very concise and keyword-focused, or more detailed?
- Is the AI looking for specific terminology?
- Does sentence structure or grammar matter a lot?
- Is it enough to explain the concept, or do you have to explicitly mention every relevant configuration step and keyword?
If you've passed the new scenario-based SAP certification, especially SuccessFactors Learning (THR88), I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.
- How did you approach the scenario questions?
- What kind of answers did you write?
- Did you keep them short and to the point, or did you elaborate?
- Any tips on how the AI evaluates responses?
I still have 2 attempts left, and I really want to make them count. I've invested a lot of time into preparing for this certification, so any advice would mean a lot.
I can also recall a few of the scenario questions from the exam (without violating SAP's exam policies), and I'd love to discuss the concepts behind them with someone who's already passed.
Thanks in advance! Any guidance is greatly appreciated. 🙏
