I have my exam scheduled for next week Friday. I am on the last stages of studying. It's pretty much addressing gaps, and taking practice questions.
If you're in the US, you can take advantage of free LinkedIn Learning and Udemy through your local library. Since I discovered that, I have not had to pay.
My study plan was simple; test after each domain. My practice tests are LinkedIn - all four tests, Udemy Paulo and Andre, and the Pearson Vue test. I took Mike Chapple's course but he skipped over somethings, and ended up finding them out by doing these practice tests.
I tried taking Thor Pederson's course, but couldn't finish it as it was just pure overkill.
Praibh Nair on youtube is good. Professor Messer helped me understand the basics.
I have also discovered keywords and how to associate them when answering questions. My goal is not understand and not to cram.
Know your ports, the OSI model and how it fits on the TC/IP model. Know which devices work on which layer.
Mnemonics also help. For example, Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away is equal to Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application layers of the OSI from 1-7.
Know the difference between On Prem, IAAS, PAAS, SAAS and how to identify them in a question.
All People Seem To Need Data Processing
Application Presentation Session Transport Data link, Physical OSI 7-1
By taking the tests over and over, I was able to identify my weakest domain and where my confusion of terms were.
I also took exam mode and did not go back on questions to get myself used to CAT format.
Good luck.
I don't know if this helps. I sure can't wait to get this over with.
