Directions
- Studying the content for a minimum of 2 hours per day.
- This study plan is designed to take 1-2 months to complete.
- You can finish the entire certification in 1 month, but I recommend taking off 1-2 days per week.
- It is outlined by day and what lessons to complete. Each day has about 2 hours of videos to watch or exams to complete.
- I don’t recommend studying more than 2-3 hours per day while watching or reading the content. After about 2 hours we will forget many of the topics we learn earlier.
- Exams days are 4 hours long – Very Important to practice exam endurance
- Don’t study just to pass a test. KEEP asking yourself, how can I apply this in a project I am doing now or in the future.

- REST – DO NOT STUDY
- Wake up really early, I recommend 5AM. This way you can go to bed early that day and get a good night sleep. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or anything that may disturb your sleep.
- Try not to be nervous. Keep in mind this is just a test, not something that is life or death. Accept that you might fail so keep your nerves calm.
Day 28 (JUDGEMENT DAY)
- Wake up early.
- Exercise to ensure you are awake.
- Dress in blue.
- Eat a well balance meal. Don’t drink too much coffee, but I recommend a small coffee.
- Take Actual Certification. Remember the mindset.
- When done you might get your results. If you pass, Carrot cake and beer or Cherry coke. If not, you might have to wait a day or so then celebrate.
