I am currently looking to do the CSA exam and eventually the CAD.  I do not understand why it is so difficult to figure our which version to study from.

Hi @theprofessi 

 

The ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA) exam is currently based on the Zurich release.

It will be changed next to Australia version.

Hello @theprofessi ,

 

As per my understanding , Version not more affect on CSA exam . CSA exam is just about platform understanding and servicenow concepts .  You can refer @Dr Atul G- LNG  response.

 

Here are few tips  for csa exam :

Most ServiceNow learners don’t know the proper learning path for getting their first mainline certification, the CSA (Certified System Administrator). I was in the same situation earlier, and I also looked through several ServiceNow Community posts for guidance and study material. So sharing my experience here 

 

First of all, for the ServiceNow CSA exam, there are two recommended prerequisite courses. These courses help you understand all the core ServiceNow concepts, configurations, and skills required to clear the CSA.

They also provide essential hands-on knowledge that every ServiceNow Administrator should have.

Start reading Servicenow CSA E-book , you will get your e-book from fundamental course .

Most of the time, people get bored reading such a big eBook. However, it is very helpful for the exam. If you have already gone through the concepts in the eBook, and the same topics appear in the exam, you can quickly recognize that those questions are from specific sections.

So, don’t ignore the eBook—try to complete it.

The most important parts of the eBook are the last sections, such as Security Center, Shared Responsibility Model, and ServiceNow Encryption. These sections are often overlooked, but based on personal experience, around 4–5 questions can come from them.

Also, most of the theory and concepts in the eBook are already covered in ServiceNow prerequisite courses, so it becomes easier to revise quickly.
