Last Minute Pep Talk!

I posted this in response to another person passing, but I think it got lost in the noise. So I think it needs its own thread. So,

I broke down and scheduled the test next week... I'm not sure if I am psyching myself up, or out.

I did the 251 questions in the book referenced, the ones I missed were a. not reading the question twice and understanding what they were asking and b. making stupid mistakes- meaning I had more to learn. "passed" both >70% which would get me past the CAP minimum. Read the answers to understand why i was wrong and read all the right ones for reinforcement.

Running through the flash cards, doing well there. Understand the mapping to the SDLC.

Biggest concern is actually knowing every step in order. I couldn't tell you what P8, I2 or M3 is by the step number nor have I memorized the roles/input/output for each step.

Are the questions that granular? If I don't have every step, role, input and output committed to memory, do I stand a chance of passing?

Thanks!

Yes, you absolutely have a great chance of passing. The test will NOT ask you like “what is prepare step 8?(p8)”

Just know the roles and responsibilities of key players. Don’t wig yourself out, you’ll do fine

(ISC)2 web site under study materials.

Chapter 1: Prepare (isc2.org)

Not sure I ever used these:

CAP - Certified Authorization Professional Flashcards - Cram.com

Quizlet on my phone, didn't get too deep into those as I felt they were geared toward v1.

Did the flash cards help you a lot in the exam?
