You will need to learn the terms. There are a lot of "trick" questions where a similar term is used but it is not a correct answer. It is best to have a clear understanding of the terms. The "trick" questions are often the cause of many to fail the first time. Saving Changes...

Makes sense.
How many terms a day should I aim to study and slowly build from there? I am looking to utilize flash cards, but seems like this would be a study session in itself. Saving Changes...

I am not sure how to guide you on this. I learned the terms as I went. I had a chance to solidify my understanding of the terms through practice exams. Take a lot of them. They will help you spot the "trick" questions and figure out how to answer them.
Learning how to take the test is a task in itself. Here are a couple of hints:
- When you arrive, you will have a piece of paper. Write down any calculations, processes, ITTO's that you have memorized so that you do not need to worry about you memory failing mid way through.
- Read the question, read all of the answers, pick the answer you think it may be and read the question again to verify the answer is the one you want..
- Of the answers you can often quickly eliminate 2 answers immediately. Then you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.
- Before selecting your final answer pay very close attention to each word in the answer. This is were something like product may be substituted for project.
- Try to answer all of the questions, but mark the ones you are not sure of. Then if you run out of time you still have answered the question. If you have time, go back and review the marked questions to be comfortable with your answers.
I would say it is crucial to learn and memorize the terms.
Not only for the exam but also for the day-to-day conversation. If you have them clear everyone (from the area) will understand what you mean. Saving Changes...

You will need to fully understand what they mean and how they are used, not to memorize them. If you are going to get any question, it is not going to be that straight forward so understanding will help you much more than memorizing.

Thank you for advising on this approach. I agree that understanding the context based on the term in what it is discussing will be a better way to look at it than trying to memorize a full glossary.
No longer is the 15-minute tutorial allowed to be utilized as a brain dump period. You can still do it, but only once the 4 hr time clock has begun.

There will not be any basic questions asking specifically what a definition is. So best to understand the terms and how they apply or add context to the statement or question. There is terminology that you will simply absorb through studying and others that are more specific and require understanding to grasp other concepts. Saving Changes...
