Study for it 🙃

Take a boot camp. I took a week off work to do a 40 hour boot camp, then studied for a couple of months before taking the exam. The boot camp only had 10 students so the instructor made sure we all had opportunities to ask questions, understand concepts, etc. We did lots of practice tests. I don’t think I would have passed the exam without the boot camp. In fact, two people in the class had already taken the exam and failed. They were taking the boot camp to ensure they passed and all 10 of us did

Thank you EY1!
