I believe you can click on my profile to send a private message. I don't want to put my email here. Since my exam is on Friday, it's no use joining a study group for me. One other thing that helped me was AI. I used Claude and asked it to create a study plan for me giving it my exact date. You can use your AI of choice.
I also let it know what Domains I struggled with most. The big Domains were broken into two days for study.
I also plan on writing LinkedIn posts that I think may help anyone taking this exam. I have one scheduled for Tuesday. My next one will be on controls.
One thing I also learnt is to slow down. I am still working on it. So far my my Udemy test started at a 72% for all Domains. A retest at 96% after addressing my gaps. My LinkedIn test was 90%. I did CAT mode not going back.
There are still three more LinkedIn tests. I will take the Pearson Vue prep test close to the exam day.
If you keep testing at 80 or higher in the prep tests, it means you're ready.
Just make sure you understand it.
I also use a lot of Index cards lumping them per domain.
Mnemonics help me quite a bit. For example for Incident Response, I use Please Don't Cry Every Recovery's Long
P Preparation
D Detection
C Containment
E Eradication
R Recovery
L Lessons learned aka Post Incident Activity
Claude gave me that mnemonic when I failed a few questions on Incident response.
There's PAPA for ISC2 Canons and Please Do Not Take Sausage Pizza Away for the OSI model from Layer 1 to 7. And All People Seem To Need Data Processing OSI Layer 7 to 1.
One thing that confused me was the Cloud models. The video below helped me.
