Hi, this question may have been asked in this forum multiple times and I went through some older posts, but I will still put this here as I need some affirmation to decide whether I go for it or not.
I want to understand if it is advisable that I take this exam with only 3 years of experience in business analysis. I have been a test engineer for 8 years before that so I have done a lot of UAT if that matters.
If you have taken CBAP previously, how has it benefited you?
How long did it take for you to prepare for the exam?
Did you take IIBA membership and then registered for the exam?

Any other suggestions are welcome.
