The best tip I can give from answering this question for a decade:
- ignore brain dumps and exam "prep" sites.

The ecosystem needs *CAPABLE  BUILDERS*.  It has more than enough 'exam studiers' who couldn't help customers on platform to save their lives.  The CSA exam (once again) is becoming a byword for pretenders.

So, knowing that the ecosystem wants CAPABLE BUILDERS, and the exam is trying to test for that, the ONLY thing you should be doing for prep is *BUILDING* on the platform.

Take every component you've learned via your course and try to build something with it.  Doesn't have to make sense... it just has to utilize the tool.

The exam is wall-to-wall questions who's answer you will know FOREVER if you had only used the component once in your life.

Remember.  Every quizlet, every exam cram site, every exam braindump is an act of hatred against ServiceNow customers.

You will NEVER (mark my words) NEVER gain confidence by courses and learning.
You need to build.  
This market is filled to the brim with people who only ever studied words, but literally can't do ANYTHING when you put them in front of the Servicenow instance.

BUILD

You are literally giving great advice! Once you are hands on it will make more sense and you'll gain a greater understanding of the platform and instantly know how to build and maneuver in a ServiceNow instance. As a visual/ hands on learner thats where my confidence comes in... with that being said I came across the Citizen Developer learning path in my PDI would that be good to follow along with to build. I'm in the NextGen for System Administrator and I just unlocked my CSA voucher and unlocked the badge for completing Now Learning path.
