I prepped for the exam during a Saudi Holiday where our Project was shut down for the week. I utilized the Rita Mulcahey book, taking all the exams along the way. Additionally, I studied many sample exams online.
One "trick"to the exam for me was to convert my Construction Management mindset into that of a non construction approach to the test. The test questions utilized non-construction terminology and Procedures ("cement" vs, concrete) & added training for failing staff members (usually not possible in a given hard production push). Please put yourself in the head of the Examiners!
Some extremely smart Construction Engineers in my field have difficulty with the Exam Questions.
Play their Game! Good Luck!
