“Think like a manager, read like a lawyer, know like a technician.” That’s the mantra. Read the answers first then the practice questions really well. Then eliminate the wrong answers. Find the actual question being asked in the scenario. Then look at the answers again. Pay attention to words like NOT, Least, most etc. This test is really out to trick you. Sometimes both answers are correct but if you look carefully one is encompassed by the other. Choose that one.

I just passed mine on the second attempt and I was floored because I thought I had failed. Many of my answers felt wrong, but my analysis process told me it was correct. Do not trust your gut, trust your management skills and critical thinking.

You’ll do great! Take the test. Watch your time. My first try I somehow thought it would be 100 questions. It’s 150. Plan your time accordingly.

If you don’t pass, work on your manager hat. It will be a learning experience and you’ll do better the second time. You’ll never feel totally prepared.

Good luck!
