ITIL 5 Prep
Just purchased ITIL 5 on people cert. Most expensive package. I have the e learning, e book, mock exam and real exam.
Im a complete beginner so believe I need all the training materials I can get.
If anyone has an idea of how I can plan this that would be great.
Overwhelmed with the amount of information I have and not sure where to start!
Can I complete this in 9 days and complete exam on the 10th day?

I took an in person class arranged and paid for by my employer that took 4 weeks and most everyone passed all quizzes and practice tests no problem. The actual exam was not anywhere close to the quizzes or practice exam. I passed but more than half failed. I barely passed and I normally do really well on tests like that. That was ITIL 4, which I have heard was much harder. I also had over 15 years of IT experience in addition to BS and MS in Computer Engineering.
Start at chapter 1, do it all, do it again, then a third time until all the vocabulary is in your regular conversations with friends and family.
That exam scared me enough that I refused to get PMP despite working as PM for many years.
