I passed it the first time with an 84% and I am not the best test taker. As a matter of fact, when i finished the exam I did not think I passed, I was in shock when I was handed my certificate.
My suggestion is READ THE BOOK! I cannot stress that enough. This will give you an understanding of the material because I frankly would get confused about whether health or life was being asked about in online practice tests that I was taking before I read the book.
Read the book once. Read it again chapter by chapter doing the practice test at the end of each chapter. Then do the final test at the back of the book. The PMREVIEW was somewhat helpful. None of the questions that were on the PMREVIEW were on that test though. There is some helpful information on the PMREVIEW that will get you a few answers correct for sure. The questions on the PMREVIEW will tell you if you got the answer right or wrong and why which is one feature I liked a lot.
It is all about comprehending the material (understanding) and being able to stand up to those tricky test questions.
When taking the test, read the question 2 times before even looking at the answers. I cannot stress how important that is. After you look at the answers if you have to read the question again do it. Time wise it is going to come down to the wire. I had only 8 minutes left when I finished. I reviewed with those 8 minutes but changed no answers. Never leave an answer blank either incase you run out of time!
