@arjemlearning Thank you for the valuable insight, which I wouldn't have gleaned by going through the self-paced course solely. I am a visual learner as well and learn by doing also. I hope to pass the test when it is my turn and will use the resources you provided.
For how long did you study before taking the exam?
I am in Chapter 2 of the Self-Paced training.
Are the Podcasts in the self-training a good use of studying time?
Felicitaciones por aprobar el examen. Gracias por compartir información para la preparación.
thanks for providing these resources
I spent around 3 months studying for an hour each day.
Considering your learning style, podcasts can be a great use of your studying time in self-training. Opt for quality content that aligns with your study goals, and don't forget to supplement it with other materials for a well-rounded approach.
