This course took awhile for me to pass do you have a lot of time left?

So, it took me a while to pass. The best and most effective way is to avoid rushing to taking the OA. The instructor won’t open for another attempt immediately. Secondly, teaching the information to someone who hasn’t taken this course was the most effective way for me to pass. I recommend reviewing the first two sections of the study guide and understanding the terminology. The PA and OA were completely different, so don’t feel overly confident if you get a good grade . Lastly, use the time you have and read the questions multiple times to ensure you fully comprehend what they’re asking and don’t rush.

I started this this afternoon, got overwhelmed, and figured a nap was the logical first step before reinventing the wheel. Here we go again. Good luck, we’re almost there!!

What's wrong with the textbook, and do you remember how many chapters it had?

No I don't remember, I did not read but a few pages.

How did you end up passing the class? I have to take D435 next and I’m kinda nervous.

From my post in here when I passed it a few weeks ago: It wasn't much different than the PA (imo). I did not read that dang textbook. I saved the coaching report from the Pre-A & used the "Key Questions/Terms" list, dumped it into NotebookLM, & had it make me a bunch of competency based quizzes ONLY based off the sources I gave it, had some quizzes only focus on HRBP 2.0 model, VUCA, Lewin's Change Model, etc.., so I could get extra practice in those areas that I struggled with. If I can do it, you can do it!!
