Hi everyone,

I just wrote and passed the first exam. I only went through the passit booklet a couple of times and that was it. 94%.

For the second exam, I'm just wondering whether I should do the same strategy or do it differently. Everyone I talk to, they say they do passit. And read the OREA book.

What do you guys suggest? How have you done it?

I started with reading the OREA book and then doing Passit questions online. Got 94-100% on the first 4 exams. Got too lazy on the last one so read the Minicram notes and then did Passit questions, still got 100%, so i think either way works.

Haven't looked at passit, but for me, you pay $X to use passit for only a few weeks, whereas with minicram you give the same $ and you can keep the material. I do admit though, the temporary nature of the passit license may be a further incentive to study and pass the exam within a limited (and relatively quick) period of time. What is it, 3 weeks?

And did you only do Passit, or did you study the books as well?

PassIT allows you to use it for 5 weeks. I have passed all my 5 courses and used PassIT for all of them. I read through the course material once and then spend the rest of the time doing PassIT MCQs. One thing I had hoped would be available on PassIT is to be able to save all your incorrect answers. Not just the Top 10.

I haven't used Minicram before.

Based on my personal experience of using both PassIt and minicram for Commercial exam, Minicram questions are more close to what you see in the exam.
Example: passIt does not offer a question where it list multiple options and then you choose the answer based on set of correct options- A) All options are correct. B) Only 1 is correct. c) only 2 and 3 are correct. d) only 2,3 and 4 are correct.

I didn't see any questions like that for the first course. So it changes from hereon, then?

OH no, a duplicate. Internet's going to break. Let's merge this with that 88-page thread so people really have to search for this information.

Roxis1984, Did you find the Minicram notes helped for 3A&B? I keep moving my exam because i'm overwhelmed. I have passit but minicram seems to have a more cohesive breakdown of each section.

I have used neither. Just read the book and did the review questions at the end. Although i thought i failed my exams, i luckily ended up passing it by being in the high 80's.
