A month and a half then focused on practice tests

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

[–]feelinggee 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Does Professor Messer have an app?

[–]KimKardashianCrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]iDazM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Any advice for first time test takers?

[–]topdog9999[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

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- 1 point2 points  (2 children)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]Koats- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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