@YeSol When preparing for the exam, it's essential to consider that the self-paced course alone might not be enough. One reason for this is that the course primarily relies on written materials, which may be challenging for non-native English speakers or those who prefer visual learning. In such cases, video resources with examples and better explanations could be more beneficial. Moreover, using additional external resources allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the domains, making you better equipped to ace the exam and be thoroughly prepared for success.

@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?

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.
