Test Taking Tips

Slow down and carefully read the question. If you don’t understand it, reread it.

Certification exams are written with the assistance of dozens of Subject Matter Experts. Do not expect to find clues in a consistent writing style for every question.

The “BEST” choice is always the right choice.

Give the question a shot before giving up and moving on. If you’re still unsure, return to it for a fresh look later.

Do not read more into the question than what is stated.
