I am currently studying for a rather competitive promotional exam. Approx. 600 will take the test, only the top 60 pass and realistically about only 15 will be promoted.
There is approx. 2,000 pages of material for the closed book portion and an additional 2,000 pages of material for the open book portion. The test is about six months away. It's only given every two years, so if I don't make the cut, it will be two more years before I can retake it.
I know that we have some highly educated people here, who have studied for exams with volumes of material.
My questions are:
What kind of test did you study for ?
What study methods did you fiind useful or useless ?
Any tips, hints or suggestions for tackling this mountain of material ?
TIA (I guess I better get to studying now )
