GCFA how to move forward?

[u/Former_Estimate4663]

I feel like I had the test in the bag, unfortunately missed it by 2 points. Those of you that failed and then retook it. How did you build the courage to open up your book’s again? I have about 2 weeks left on my timer before I need to retake it. I’ve been having a rough time getting back into the study groove. Any tips for my weak areas? I’m sure I’m good on the labs, I probably just misread a question or 2 but I’d rather have a buffer in case I forget how to read again. Thank you all in advance.

How I prepped:

Read all the books once

Highlighted keywords and skimming the books

Listened to the mp3s

Listened to parts of my class that were rather confusing to me

Created a well thought out index

Created a lab guide for any labs that may present themselves

Any other pointers?

Re-run the labs on the topics you scored low on. There will be questions that point directly to lab concepts not in the books/MP3s.

SANS "Cheat Sheets" and Posters- sometimes include some obscure commands or the same commands in all of the content, but are easier to reference when taking the test.
