How to Study for the CSA Exam When It Falls Between Update Releases

[ratkinson]

Just realized I posted this in the wrong board....my apologies. If someone knows how to move it that would be appreciated. 

I completed all the courseware for the ServiceNow CSA (Certified System Administrator) exam but couldn’t schedule my exam until January 20 due to limited testing center availability. This happens to be about a week after the new exam release tied to the latest platform update.

I’m now in a bit of a dilemma: How do I effectively study the material I’ve already learned while preparing for potential changes in the updated exam?

1. Should I focus on the current courseware and hope it covers most of the new exam content?
2. Are there specific resources or strategies you'd recommend for bridging the gap between old and new platform updates?
3. Is it as simple as studying the Xanadu release notes and adjusting to how those changes are applied in the platform?
4. How do you approach studying in situations like this where the content might shift?

I’d really appreciate any insights or tips you all have. Thanks in advance for your help!

ServiceNow tests for the differences between versions via "Delta" exams which come out every version or two. 
And those aren't very difficult since NowLearning comes with roadmaps so you can review the (few) differences.
