Do you study until you know the material backwards and forwards, but still have trouble passing your test? It’s not your fault. There are tons of books and classes out there that will teach you how to learn and how to study, but that is only half of the equation. To do well on tests, you need to do more than study, you need to learn how to effectively take tests. This book will teach you how to develop the skills to be a confident and successful test taker. I have a two Masters’ Degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree, and I have tested for and obtained some very difficult professional certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP,) Certified Information Systems Security Specialist (CISSP,) Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS,) Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT,) Firefighter, and many others. In other words, I passed a lot of tests and I can teach you how you can do the same. I will teach you the things you need to do beyond merely studying, how to prepare and put yourself in the right mind set to ready to perform on test day. We will go over all sorts of different testing formats, from multiple choice to formal interviews and audits. I will give you tips and strategies on how to best approach each different style of test and how to maximize your time on test day. The tactics and techniques in this book are what I have distilled over three decades of taking some of the hardest tests out there. The concepts are easy, but it will take a lot of practice, and the sooner you get started the better, so open up to page one and let’s get ready to Ace Your Test!
