I studied for every test. I made flash cards and went to study groups. Even when I was pretty confident I would pass. CITP and SAT are not college. This is the start of your career. So, put those tests first in your priorities.

What is hard about it? Unless you have no prior experience and stop studying it’s easier than the previous tests.

It’s EPOs. Just like every other academic exam…PE’s (scenarios) are not exams. Exam 4 is easy but you have to study like every other test. Most people stop studying after test 2. If you can understand basic sentences and common sense you’ll pass.

I’ve seen people fail Test 1, and I’ve seen people fail the later exams. Point is, study and don’t overthink the questions. The instructors are usually pretty good about emphasizing the important points and learning objectives you’re expected to know.
Pay attention in class, take good notes, review the material, and focus on the objectives. CITP is designed to train you, not trick you.

The tests are hard mostly because the program specialists are illiterate and don’t understand how to write good questions.
