(c) Adaptive Processes Consulting Be with the Best!

  17. Exam tips • Know your modeling • Usage, process, flow, data and behavior models are all areas tested on the exam.

Whatever your preparation method, be sure to develop a plan for practicing with CBAP-format questions or full-blown practice examinations. Set aside three hours, find a quiet spot, and work your way through. After a few practice exams, and knowing exactly what to expect, the real one won't seem so intimidating.  • Take your time • The night before the exam, don't try to cram or re-read the BABOK. • Just get a good night's rest - it is a three-hour-long, taxing test, and being focused and alert is the best favor you can do for yourself.  (c) Adaptive Processes Consulting Be with the Best!
