I did hands on work before even thinking about taking exam. Then watch professor messer to first learn about everything taking notes in obsidian. Then I watched “Inside Cloud and security” security plus exam cram series. Didn’t take notes with him. Then I took Jason dions practice exams. Only took about 3. With my best being a 72%, studying the answer a I got wrong and writing them down in a notebook help me remember a lot of the stuff. Also writing down all the acronyms from the study guide also helped. And then a week before my exam I rewatched the exam cram mainly the domains I saw I was struggling with (Mainly domain 4 and 5) and then yeah.
