Best "study for exam" source: CSA?

[Drew Dennis]

Over the weekend I have failed my first attempt at the CSA.  Took the online Fundamentals course with 18 pages of notes.  Effectively memorized 3 online practice exams I found.  Spent 1-3 hours per day for 2 weeks studying.  When I sat down to take the exam it was like I taking something I'd never seen before to the point I admit I was guessing for ~1/2 of the questions.  It wasn't "harder than I expected" or anything like that, it simply wasn't in a form that anything I studied prepared me for; especially not the Fundamentals class.  

I've been using the SN platform for 6 years.  Have been the Admin at my job and working with an offshore for code-help for 3 years.  Already making notifications, managing groups and roles, inbound actions, modifying forms, helped configure and test the CMDB, wrote the entire Knowledge base for my current company, etc.  As far as practical knowledge I had confidence going into this exam.

But I didn't learn the material in a hard-vocabulary format.  I'm not mad at myself for failing the exam because I honestly felt very prepared and wouldn't have changed my way of studying because it works.  I know how to do the job and have put in the hours.  But I DON'T know how to take the test to prove that.  The CompTIA tests are the same in a way; written in a specific format people need to intentionally study for. 

How do I do that for ServiceNow?  Where is the testing material that will prepare me for the specific, vocab-only testing format?  I'm getting licensed on my own so this is money out of my pocket and if I can't complete the exams to prove my knowledge it might be a smarter idea to stop going down the SN Paths altogether and focus on mastery of other things.

It is such a pity that these so many groups are still operational on Telegram and indulged in atrocities as 

1. Selling ServiceNow Exam dumps (screens of real ServiceNow exams) or sharing live exam content.

2. Sale of ServiceNow Exam Voucher(s) sales 

3. Sale of ServiceNow recorded Instructor led training videos

4. Sale of ServiceNow training docs / guides / notes 

6. Proxy people who will attempt exams on your behalf at a tall price.

The administrators of these groups have no say in them, they just ignore it and allow this shit to continue which makes this scam even bigger and uncontrolled.

Telegram channel names -

ServiceNow Professionals

ServiceNow Jobs

ServiceNow Help Desk

ServiceNow Dumps

ServiceNow Co

Most of them change the channel names once in a while to stay relevant to their audience (people whom they trick into buying all the things mentioned above). There is nothing related to learning or help. Its a illegal marketplace of ServiceNow IP being sold in various forms at quick monetary gains..

You can try to join these groups and see for yourself how easy it is to procure exam dumps or exam vouchers or find a proxy who can clear exam on your behalf.

When will strict action be enforced on the miscreants ?
