CWTS study question

For those who have passed the CWTS exam, how did you approach studying for it? I have the study guide and access to practice exams but am not sure of most effective study methods as I am a terrible test taker.
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Read the study guide, front to back. Then sit down with the objectives, can you walk through that list and describe each item on the syllabus? If yes, take a practice test and see how you do. If no, read the book again and take better notes! For me, I like to read the book once, then read it a second time taking notes and filling in blanks from the syllabus.

Thank you for the great response, Blake!
I will try what you suggested.
-
As mentioned elsewhere, study to the Official Objectives - not just the book or the sample questions.
-
Another good point. Thanks, Howard!
Do you think I could pass in 2 months of study?
-
How much do you work with the technology? What is your role within the market?

Blake:
I currently work for a WISP and I provision routers primarily for our residential wireless customers.

It's obviously easier when you are around the technology because you get used to hearing the terminology used. I wouldn't say 2 months is a stretch by any means, but you need to be committed to it and put in the time. Back when I took the CWTS in 2012 I had already been working with wireless for over 10 years, so I just read the book and went and sat it. Having been around the technology made it a lot easier.
-
How much time per day/week do you suggest putting in?
-
That really depends on you and your level. As an example the two weeks leading up to my CWNA refresh I spent close to 6 hours a day on going over the material, somedays more, somedays less.
I think you should be putting in a min of 10 hours a week.
