Life experience?!

Haha...I dunno but I got 8/10 on the pre-test.

I downloaded the exam objectives and just am going to google/wikipedia them this weekend. Plus, I worked as a security guard before and had some control systems responsibility as well as dealing with UPS's in a HIPAA environment in another role - so I hope it helps.

Final thoughts...

I went into this exam with minimal studying but I tried to concentrate on domains 1.0, 6.0 and 7.0 since they represented the largest percentage in the objectives. That was probably a good idea since the majority of questions I received dealt with best practices. Having an in-depth electrical eng/mech eng/physics/thermal dynamics background certainly couldn't hurt.

I'm 50/50 on passing. When I started, I thought it was an instant fail (performance-based questions

but as I went through the exam once and then again - I think I caught onto a mistake I was making based on really ambiguous wording of answers and fixed my answers.

We'll see though in late Q1 2016...
