As experiences go, test-taking is not something most people anticipate eagerly, no matter how well they're prepared. In most cases, familiarity helps reduce test anxiety. In plain English, this means you probably won't be as nervous when you take your fourth or fifth certification exam as when you take your first one.

Whether it's your first test or your tenth, understanding the exam-taking particulars (how much time to spend on questions, the setting you'll be in, and so on) and the testing software will help you concentrate on the material rather than on the environment. Likewise, mastering a few basic test-taking skills should help you recognize and perhaps even outfox some of the tricks and gotchas you're bound to find in some of the test questions.

In this chapter, we explain the testing environment and software and describe some proven test-taking strategies that you should be able to use to your advantage.
