Hi all,
I just passed my exam today! Over the moon.
I was a little worried about it and before hand saw this forum discussion and to be honest made me a little bit more worried. Thought I'd share what worked for me (some of it already has been posted).
First I did the course training and would keep taking the post course assessment until I could consistently get 100%. So every day I would put some time aside to do this until comfortable.
Mike Chapple's LinkedIn learning was a brilliant help then after. The course took me a little longer as I took notes for each section so would need to pause and rewind. I think without the notes I wouldn't have learned as much and he covered items in great detail.
After I had my notepad with his course notes split by chapter I also combined all the glossaries from the end of chapters from ISC course into one document. (Included some diagrams too that were good from the end of chapter learnings).
Build up to exam I had my notepad and file with the glossary items and diagrams and would spend some time reviewing each day. For me works best to review before sleeping so I end up thinking about concepts as drifting off.
I think a key part of the exam is taking your time and reading the question clearly. Make sure you understand it fully before selecting an answer. And stay calm.
I wont lie. When I left the exam room I wasn't sure how I did as some questions stumped me, but it was a great relief to find out I passed.
Hopefully it goes well for everyone else here with exams coming up!
