QE and final exam prep
I’m taking my exam in 2 days. Been studying for 2 weeks using a number of resources. Been using QE for practice questions along with the official study guide and some video walkthroughs of questions.
My first QE CAT exam I got ~430. I reviewed what I got wrong and realized I needed to approach the questions very differently. I’ve taken 3 more since then, one every 3 days. Scores were ~880, ~935, ~860. Every time, I review the questions I missed.
My one concern is that I’m conditioning my brain to approach the questions in a way that works for the QE exams but may not work for the actual exam. At the end of the day, the goal is passing the real exam. Any thoughts?
Also, a lot of the questions I’ve missed on those exams ask about lifecycles and sequential events like SDLC, incident response, risk assessment and management (which is funny because I just passed CRISC 2 weeks ago). A lot of those questions seem like I’m missing information and the explanations almost feel like they’re making assumptions that I wouldn’t make in the context of the question. Any thoughts on last minute prep to help with that? Any suggestions for resources for that would be appreciated as well.
