Hello and welcome back.
So let's talk now about the game or study plan and also about the course differentiators or components
so recommended study plan.
And this is a frequent question that I get all the time especially from those who don't have enough
patients or they would like to cut corners into preparing for exams.
Please.
This is going to take your profile to the next level.
It's going to tighten your label you as a pro so you have to do the right investment and the right effort
in order to be as skilled and as qualified as the title implies from a study plan perspective.
I expect that you would need close to 120 hours or six weeks assuming three hours per day.
And the plan to study how would you do it.
First of all you need to have a fresh or good understanding of the associate level knowledge as we discussed
in the previous lecture.
You need to go over the course the content all the lectures two times.
Please remember that you have speed control.
OK.
So in Udemy video player you can speed up the video.
You can slow it down to your liking and to the best learning outcomes in the second round.
You can play at a higher speed.
And that would save you time.
So you will do the course fully into and including quizzes including tutorials including the end of
course assessment two times after that.
I would assume that the knowledge that you will have deeply understood is going to be roughly about
60 70 to 80 percent.
So there will be some gaps for sure.
How would you work around these gaps in the last 10 days or two weeks before the exam and after doing
the two full rounds that we have discussed.
You need to start doing additional practice.
So now if you're asking me do you need more practice than what is in this course.
Yes because you do me allows only two tests to be included with a course look for a reliable good reviews
additional practice exams hopefully that will be a dolphin and one as well.
But if not that's fine.
You need to do that for many reasons.
It's not like the associate exam.
It's not as easy as the exam.
Of course some of you will jump and say the associate was not easy.
Yes but this one is harder.
So going through that you will train yourself to be able to sit down with full attention and focus for
hundred and seventeen minutes.
This is very crucial.
It's close to three hours in the exam.
You will need to be racing the clock watching time management controlling your spending and pressure
levels.
And at the same time answering questions carefully in order to ace the exam.
So that will train you for that.
And this is very important.
The second one is will train you on time management in the exam.
You need to keep an eye every two or three questions on the clock and find out how are you doing.
Are you on track.
And this is very crucial in order to get into that.
And practicing before the exam will give you the right fitness and the right readiness to do the same
during the actual exempt.
And also it will enable you and this is very important uncover the gaps.
Remember when I said that going through the course twice will probably help you acquire 60 to 80 percent
from the knowledge.
But how about the other 20 percent or 40 percent or 30 percent or whatever that is practicing will show
you you have answered that question wrong although you have gone through the theory that relates to
it.
That means it did not sink in for some reason.
So you go back and you find out whether you understood it right or not.
And keep going like that covering all the gaps so it will be the last 10 days or two weeks it's going
to be back and forth between the content and practice content and practice.
What is a good success rate on the practice exams that will give you an indication that you are getting
ready for the exam when you're almost ready for the exam if you are scoring 85 percent and up you're
good.
Of course not above 90 is better.
Hundred percent is better and better.
But if you are scoring consistently 85 percent 87 percent 90 percent that means you're almost ready
for the exam.
Just keep doing what you are doing.
So redo the practice exams again till you are very confident if you do this.
You don't need anything else.
What else would you need to do.
You might want to go yourself through the recommended white papers and in the next section are going
to talk about exam blueprint and what are the recommended papers.
So stay tuned for that.
Course differentiators I keep telling you that this is the one and only this is the best.
This is all in one.
Why why is it different than the other courses in the market or the courses that will come out as well.
The course is structured with a very logical flow.
First is a test to find out where do you stand.
From a CSA perspective are you ready.
Do you have the fresh knowledge or do you need to go back and review.
So that is where you'll be struck at the beginning of the course.
You will be hit with 80 questions exam one hundred seventy seven minutes.
And it is a time one where you can also skip questions review questions and all that so it will prepare
you for the actual professional exam at the beginning.
So you know what you are getting into and also is going to tell you you are ready for starting the course
or you are way off or you are okay.
But there there could be some areas where you will have to start going through the course but probably
you will go back to the associate review them and come back.
All right.
So this course we will try to review as much as we can.
But I can guarantee you that the full CSA associate is going to be repeated again.
So you need to keep that in mind please.
After that we are going to go through the core knowledge for the pro exam.
Although a paper knowledge is going to be embedded within the lectures and it could be also some sections
or subsections that would be pure white papers knowledge but all the papers recommended content is going
to be included.
Then you would have the subsection quizzes and tutorials so you would have video tutorials after the
quizzes to discuss with you the correct answers were correct and why the wrong ones were wrong and what
was the way to analyze read the question and then remove the fluff or exclude the fluff and then focus
on the important stuff to answer the question.
So this is very good training for you to get into the exam mode and to be able to read and answer questions
during the exam.
And at the end after you go through all the sections there will be another full exam.
Hundred and Seventy minutes seventy seven questions timed and with a higher test score.
It's going to be an 80 percent test score higher than what you need to pass this test.
A professional which is actually 75 percent for the actual exam.
All right.
So this is why it's an only in one guide.
It has everything that you need in one however as it was you mentioned doing additional practice is
highly recommended.
And if you want to go through the white papers you're on your own or do some side readings.
It's up to you if you want to go to other forums.
It's up to you.
And one very important thing also as a bundle of the course is you get access to the Q and A forum that
is very vibrant.
It has a lot of candidates and has a lot of people putting exam feedback practicing and bringing questions
so we can discuss an answer.
So if you do all of that I assure you that you will be more than qualified to pass the exam.
Most importantly you will be ready for the interviews afterwards if you are looking for approval and
you would be confident going through these interviews.
So that's why it's that one and only address.
That's right.
Professional.
All in one exam preparation guide.
Let's take a break.
I'll see you after that and we'll continue with more information about the course.
I'll see you then.
Thank you.
