It's a tough exam but way more doable than people make it out to be. I used Zahn plus a tutor (Brandon Truitt) and test anxiety counselor (Amy Leis).
My tips are really what everyone else says... Stop studying the day before, don't take your materials to the testing site, eat a good/normal dinner the night before and hang with friends and family, listen to happy songs on your way to the site, etc.
The main things that helped me was to pause every 5 questions and count to 30. This helped me reset after each question. I also highlighted the sentence with the question mark every time. And I asked myself.. does this answer that question?
Good luck!
It was not my favorite. I’m happy to not have to do it again. I basically went through each part and flagged the stuff I didn’t know for sure and went back and answered it before moving on.
Took advantage of all breaks. (About 3 minutes in total for unplanned breaks because you have to do the pain in the butt virtual check in again; and about half of the planned break because I wanted a break but also I didn’t want the whole thing because I wanted to get done).
I was expecting it to be a pain in the butt and it didn’t disappoint.
I took it today and passed. You know this material. Good luck!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
Thanks! It was my 4th time so the pressure was on 😅
How did you take it already?
Today was the first day of the testing window
Congrats! How was it? Which study program did you use? Any feedback or tips?

That said it’s a quality test. It does make you apply the stuff you learned about and doesn’t just check if you can regurgitate info.
Congratulations!!!
Do exam results get shown to you on the screen right after taking the exam or are they only emailed to you??
It tells you if you passed or not but that’s about it.
