Chill: find your inner ohmmm…Test is stressfulIts part of the experienceLearn to train to become calm

under pressureYou will feel like you biffed it in

the endWait for the resultsMany people take the test

multiple times




Keep in Mind…Don’t jump to conclusions

Read and then reread the question

Don’t key off word choices

Expect the unexpected

Questions may not all be in a security context

Concepts may appear to be unrelated

Manage you time

Don’t panic

Move steadily through the questions

Know the process order

Think through the steps in a process

Use your ability to break a problem apart
