Read the book thoroughly, complete all associated labs, and actively explore your personal developer instance while taking detailed notes.

Utilize additional resources such as Quizlet, which offers community created flashcards, to reinforce your knowledge. You may also consider using Udemy’s study questions to test your understanding and work toward successfully passing those practice assessments as well.

Working on the CSA exam, even though I am a project manager with skills in SPM. Is this recommended? I see there is more demand for the CSA than anything else.

I have been working with the ServiceNow ticketing tool for four years. Now, I want to advance my career, but I am unsure which path to choose. Will obtaining the CSA certification help me grow professionally?
