Depends on how you study, I do agree the same few days following. I would have passed the first time if I was given a few days to breath read through notes and cover more what I needed. If it ends on a Friday try Sunday or Monday

Folllowing

Easy. Just deep breaths

Passed it in December. Best tip for now is to relax. If you don't know the stuff you won't learn it now. I went for a run the morning of the test and that helped keep me centered. At most do some brush up on the risk management stuff. Remember that lives come first, and costs must be justified. Good luck.

Thanks, 2nd time taking last time I missed it by 1 question. Hard to get out of my own head.

Taking the SANS prep course for it in 2 weeks. Passed CISA with flying colors, worked in Cyber for 3 years. How long after the boot camp should I schedule it for?

Immediately following. I'm surprised the prep course doesn't include the test.

Take a break every hour and a half. They won't even let you carry water or food inside the testing area. You will have plenty of time. I took 3 x 20 min breaks and still finished in under 5 hours

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
