Additionally, I listed a couple of tips that have helped me prepare for an exam.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 1:<\/h3>\n<p>Prior to taking the training, I briefly reviewed the &#8220;Example Exams&#8221; within the module. I tended to focus on the &#8220;Question Rationale&#8221; portion of the test exam. This explains the reasoning behind <em>how<\/em> it was determined what the best answer is for each question.\u00a0 There is an area within the question and rationale titled &#8220;Bloom&#8217;s Taxonomy Testing Level&#8221;. This portion explains what the candidate is expected to understand. This tends to help me during training as key parts of the course tend to stand out as critical pieces of information when reflecting on the example exams.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 2:<\/h3>\n<p>Another key piece of information that assists with passing the exams is understanding the functional roles and responsibilities of each process. Each scenario speaks to a specific process and generally asks\u00a0that you align the process or manager role accordingly.\u00a0 If you have a fundamental understanding of the Capacity, Availability, Demand, Continuity processes etc&#8230;, you will have a higher chance of answering the question correctly.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 3:<\/h3>\n<p>The last tip I have is that you thoroughly read the question being asked. Every scenario presents a challenge or obstacle that has to be overcome. Close attention must be paid to what question is being asked. For example, the question may ask something along the lines like; what is the best &#8220;approach&#8221; to create a successful continuity plan that addresses the issues listed by the Information Security Officer. The answers will vary, some of the answers are known as &#8220;distracters&#8221;. For example, one of the answers might illustrate a plan. The plan will sound great and may be best way to solve the issue. Keep in mind, you were not asked to solve the problem.\u00a0 You were asked to assess the best way to approach the problem, and to create a plan that in the end will address the issues.\u00a0 Again, it is very important that you read the question being asked slowly and to answer it as direct as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for the opportunity to share my\u00a0tips and tricks! My goal is to achieve ITIL expert and I have found this technique to be very helpful.\u00a0 I have passed every exam on the first try and I strongly recommend GogoTraining when preparing for your exams.\u00a0 Their training material\u00a0is a great asset. The cost, accessibility to the site, support and training, in my opinion all receive good marks. You will realize this when you take the exam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Guest Author Adrian Bates Hello, my name is\u00a0Adrian\u00a0Bates\u00a0and I have utilized GogoTraining\u00a0to acquire three ITIL certifications: ITIL Foundations; ITIL Release Control and Validation Intermediate; and Planning Process and Optimization Intermediate Certification.
