How to Study for the Certification Exam:
Here is a suggested way to work through the course material. Adjust this to suit
your individual needs. Look over the Table of Contents of the course manual to get
an overview of the topics and sub-topics. Referring to the Table of Contents as
you work through the material should help with your learning. Set a study schedule.
Pacing yourself is important to learn a large amount of material.
For example, don’t try to learn all the material in one day. Break things up--perhaps
one chapter every one to two days, for a total of ten days. Set a reasonable schedule
that suits your individual needs, allowing plenty of time to master the concepts.
After completing a chapter, review the learning objectives of the chapter. Read
the Progress Check questions and try to answer them without looking at the answers.
Only look at the answers to see whether you got them right. In other words, allow
the Progress Check Answers to provide you with the kind of feedback that can enhance
your learning. Before taking the exam, make one final pass over the five modules
(chapters).
Again, review learning objectives. Again, review course material that relates to
objectives (especially those that you are unsure). And again, review the Progress
Check items to reinforce your learning.
