Best Preparation for CSA exam

[AdrianRaymundo]

Hello Community,

Would like to hear your tips to prepare for my first CSA exam.

I just passed my CSA exam yesterday.  Can share my approach - I went through the course at a self paced approach and took the time to read through the ebook lesson content before watching the demo videos for each lesson.  Helped solidify my understanding.  The other thing that helped me was to also do the capstone project - did the challenge approach and that just validated everything for me.  I didnt wait too long between finishing the capstone and taking the exam.   As part of taking the course you will be asked to get a PDI for one of the lessons - play around in that as well.  The instructor for the SNAF self paced course was very engaging as well and that helped too!  Good luck and hope this helps!!

Thank you for these recommendations.  Much appreciated and was very similar to the advice provided by CJ & The Duke Podcast for "Becoming an Implementation Specialist.

Hi @AdrianRaymundo 

Greetings!!

- Read the ebook 2-3 times

- Where the words are bold , consider those as important.

- Do the labs.

- During exam , try to follow what was written in book, instead of what you implemented in your project( I learn this from my experience).

- It will be easy , dont worry.

- Table names / roles / filter  are important stuff.

- In book there will be few knowledge check, do that as well.

- Nothing will come outside book, the whole paper will be from book, so it is best source of truth.

 and last watch my experience -  https://youtu.be/60KXCXXHW7M
