Study for the CSA Exam

[CLM]

Hello,

What is the best way to study for the Certified System Administrator (CSA) Exam?

How do I know if the exam will include questions from the Vancouver release vs the Washington release?

Hi @CLM 

For CSA

ebook is best , read ebook 2-3 times and the labs 2-3 times and you are ready for exam. 

Till 16th July it is on Vancouver and then 7-10 day blackout and after that all mainline is on D.C. Release.

Hi @CLM 

Don't purchase and don't waste your money. 

Refer only and only EBook, believe me, all mainline exams are based on ebook only. Spend some time on a daily basis , which might be 1-2 hrs, watch training, do hands on and you will be ready. You can watch my video on the CSA exam. 

Also, There is very less changes in term of question between release, for that you can study the delta of CSA ( Delta Study Guide ) and then you will be fully ready. Faith in you mate.

Product documentation is also a great place to go for learning :). Finally, practice, practice and also practice. But most importantly, do not overthink it. Questions to the exam are pretty much straightforward and logical if you already have some admin practice 🙂

Hi Tera,

Thanks so much. I was going to try Udemy but I'm sure which one to purchase for the practice exams. 

I take my exam in August so it sounds like my questions will be on the Washington release. Hmmm. That's going to be tough studying on Vancouver and then taking the exam on Washington.

The actual training course is pretty long. I'm not sure I have enough time to review the ebook (which I'm assuming is the workbook I received when I took the course) and do the labs, but I will try.
