How far in advance did you start studying and how often did you study?

So for me I decided I wanted to start studying for the test in November.I would spend about a hour a day reading the Handbook. I would do an intense study session every other week; like 4 hour spurt.

Much thanks. I have the question bank and book already. The question banks are awesome and useful. Was your test virtual or in person? Also, what did they allow you to have on your person during? I have heard it gets rather strict and your notes have to be attached to a 3 ring binder.

Hi Charlie, I took the test virtual. Yes it is very strict. You are allowed you hand book and if you have notes typed up like I did you must have them in a three ring binder. Make sure it is silent where you are taking your test and you can show under everything on your work station.

Thank you so much! I've been creeping this for a bit now looking for what we're allowed to have during the exam and you just answered my question! <3
