4.4. Exam Preparation Strategies

šŸ’” First Principle: Success on a practical, scenario-based exam requires not just knowing the facts, but mastering the application of knowledge under timed conditions and understanding the specific question formats.

Passing the A+ exam requires a specific set of test-taking skills.

āš ļø Common Pitfall: Spending too much time on the PBQs at the beginning of the exam. This can leave you with insufficient time for the multiple-choice questions.

Key Trade-Offs:
  • Completeness vs. Speed on PBQs: It's better to complete the parts of a PBQ you know how to do quickly and move on than to get stuck trying to figure out one difficult part.
