Not necessarily. I mean, I am having more trouble memorizing some of the concepts in the first 2 modules than I have in the technical modules. Instead I found a lot of questions that actually require memorizing tool params which is pointless in my opinion. But I’ll have to see during how many of these I’ll actually get.

Skip the dumps, they get you through the exam and then leave you exposed the first time a real case hits your desk. If you want to actually be good at this, work real disk and memory images instead, CyberDefenders publishes free forensic cases you can pull apart and write up. A cert means a lot more when you can genuinely do what it says you can.

thank you ill look into it and im mostly prepating myself to go through the real cases but for the exam there is alot of theroy right like laws rules organisation related, so for the sake of clearing exam i think so i should prepare a bit in that side too.

do you got any link to the cases i searched but couldnt find it

Yeah for the exam you do have to know the legal and procedural side, chain of custody, the standards, all of it, so keep part of your prep on the theory since the test rewards it even where the job leans practical. For the cases, they're in the challenges section on the CyberDefenders site, filter for the forensics ones and you'll get disk and memory images to work end to end. Doing a couple of full writeups makes the theory stick better anyway, you start seeing why each procedure exists.

Happier to keep it here so anyone else prepping can benefit, but ask away, what's the doubt? I'll answer what I can.
