My first ever cert. Used CBT Nuggets, the Darril Gibson book everyone here seemed to love (and it is pretty great), transcender practice exams, and the GCGA premium which is a set of companion study materials for the Darril Gibson book.

Woke up sick on exam day but managed to squeak out a 780.

I was lucky in that my employer covered costs, but if you're not so lucky, I highly recommend the Darril Gibson and GCGA combo. That really is pretty much all you need to pass. Having additional resources like a video course helps for sure, but all the actual info you need is in the Darril Gibson resources.

I don't post much, but thanks to the community posts I was able to select a good book, never would have passed without it, so thank you guys.

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.
