Well, I performed better on this test than I previously had on the others. This may be because the exam was only forty questions or perhaps it was because I finally figured out the most profitable way to study. Having only three chapters to study from made the process that much easier.
To study, I actually took a POA one day just to get caught up to a manageable point from which to start from. Routinely for each chapter, I would read it and then take the online quizzes for the chapter. And then I would go through the same chapter again, rereading it, taking notes on it, and using the study guide as a reference point. After the book work, I would watch each lecture, taking notes on them as well, and also using the study guide as reference point. This is the system I would use for each chapter.
And then the day of the test, it ended up working out I was taking the day off and then coming back for the test, I used some of the time I had that day to take and check my answers on the practice exams. Unfortunately, when I was taking the 2012 exam I found some of the answers to not match correctly. Many of the questions on practice exam were also on the actual test. And I believe having the wrong answers on the practice exam, reviewing those wrong answers as though they were right until it was too late, may have even worsened my score on the exam.
In the future I plan on using the same process for the next exam, only starting the process sooner. Also, I will attempt to make use of the organized review sessions as well as meeting with a classmate to go over the material.
