I passed my 7 and 66 with Training Consultants but you have to use it correctly.

The lectures take a really long time and are mostly inefficient. I basically skipped them entirely except for the portions of the book where it’s blank and the only way to fill it in is to listen to the lecture. I would just skip to the part where it fills it in then go back to reading.

Read the chapters instead of lectures. You will retain and remember the information much better that way. Don’t rely on the lectures alone.

The flashcards are literally useless. Skip them, they are a waste of your study time.

If you don’t get 85% or better on the full set of chapter questions, RE-READ THE CHAPTER or at least re-read the sections that you miffed before moving on to the next chapter; your score breakdown tells you the sections you got questions wrong from.

The entire book is only 120-something pages. You can get through the entire book in a few hours not counting the practice questions. Don’t let this make you lazy; don’t study 5 days before your exam. Repetition of reading the book will commit the material to memory.

Once you get to the final exam practice questions, keep taking one, re-reading sections you got wrong, and taking another, and re-reading the sections you got wrong, etc, etc until exam day. Some of the questions are VERY similar, and all the extra reading will hammer the information into your memory so the test becomes nearly auto-pilot.
