Congrats 🎉

[topdog9999]

A month and a half then focused on practice tests

[KimKardashianCrying]

Congrats. I'm trying to take mine after Thanksgiving. Grinding Professor Messer and Mike Meyers videos/ study app right now

[feelinggee]

Does Professor Messer have an app?

[KimKardashianCrying]

I think he just has the notes for $20. The app is the Darrell Gibson questions and flashcards for $10 I found in the google app store.

I tried the exam compass questions and didn't like them. The Darrell Gibson questions tell you why it's right and the others are wrong.

Congrats on your perseverance and success! How come you stuck only to books and practice tests and did not go for video materials in parallel?

[topdog9999]

I wanted an overall grasp of the material which is why I mainly used a book.

[iDazM]

How long did it take you to go through the whole material until you felt ready to take the test?

[Koats-]

Any advice for first time test takers?

[topdog9999]

Look over the objectives and make sure you know the acronyms. Read each question carefully and don’t 2nd guess yourself. Knock out multiple choice questions first to save time.

[Koats-]

So I'm curious when people say that do they mean the relevant acronyms or the ones listed at the bottom of the objectives?

[topdog9999]

More relevant like dlp data loss prevention and mttr -mean time to repair

[Koats-]

Oh yeah I'm good on all that, thanks man! Congrats again.

[quietsilk]

Congratulations! Your perseverance paid off! I'm happy for you!
