Check out Cramsession's guide. We've got a ton of questions too on CertTutor.net
that are free. Also, here are some general test-taking tips for the week
before the exam from my book (link for the book is in my sig):
Get plenty of sleep - Most people take the opposite approach. They are
up until all hours of the night trying to cram as much information into
their brain as possible. By the time Test Day rolls around they are extremely
exhausted. Because of this they are often unable to concentrate on the
exam and end up getting questions wrong that they shouldn't have. Plan
on not just getting an adequate amount of sleep during the week before
your exam but actually getting more sleep than usual.
Try to get some exercise - The week of your exam is not the time to start
running five miles a day if you haven't exercised in the last year. Still,
it's a good idea to at least try to get some exercise the week of your
exam. It might not be anything more that walking a couple of miles but
some activity will help to clear your head in the days leading up to the
exam.
Plan ahead on Test Day - There isn't much that's worse than some of the
last minute anxieties such as not knowing where the testing center is
or still being uncertain about various testing policies. Make sure that
you have these things cleared up well in advance of your exam. Consider
driving to the testing center ahead of time and posting any outstanding
questions on a message board to alleviate your fears.
Picture yourself succeeding - One of the key elements for many World-class
performers is visualization. Top athletes such as Michael Jordan and Tiger
Woods have definite visions in their head of what will happen before it
actually takes place. By seeing themselves succeeding in their mind first,
they allow their body to succeed when it counts. It might not be as glamorous
but you can do the same on your certification exams. Spend a few minutes
during each of the days leading up to the exam and see yourself nailing
all of the questions and passing your exam. This time is well spent and
will help get you into an optimal frame of mind on Test Day.
Don't break too much from your routine - Having talked about the things
that you should do, it's also important to talk about what you should
not do which is to make any life-altering changes the week of your exams.
We would love to see you stop smoking but the week before your certification
exam is probably not the week to do so. The same can be said for any of
a number of other habits. Stick with what works for you, at least until
you're done with the exam.
