Anyone else studying for CALL in the next month? Want to study together
Taking my Call Center exam in 6 weeks and trying to find people at a similar stage to keep each other accountable.
I study better when I have someone to compare notes with. Currently going through "call center" and working on my weak areas — specifically around caller center.
My schedule: 90 min of focused study every weekday, full practice test on weekends. I review every wrong answer and try to understand the why, not just memorize the right option.
If you're in a similar prep window and want to:
- Compare practice test scores weekly
- Share resources that actually helped
- Talk through confusing questions
Reply here or message me. Doesn't have to be formal — even just checking in once a week helps me stay on track.
Where is everyone at in their prep?
Passed CALL 8 months ago. Happy to share what I remember.
On the "center call center" stuff specifically — I found the practice tests here were actually harder than the real exam on those questions. Which was great because going in I felt more prepared than I needed to be.
The time pressure is real though. I came in with maybe 8 minutes to spare and that was after skipping the ones I wasn't sure about and coming back.
Don't try to cram the night before. Seriously. Last-minute stress makes you second-guess things you actually know.

The advice about understanding why wrong answers are wrong — not just memorizing right ones — is genuinely the best call-center advice in this thread. Rebuilt my prep around that and it made a real difference.
Quick update: just cleared 92% on my most recent call-center practice set using call center practice test pdf. Sitting for the real thing in 3 weeks. Feeling cautiously optimistic.
Six weeks sounds like a good runway honestly. I'm sitting for mine in about 5 weeks and the pacing has been rough — I keep bouncing between feeling solid and then blanking on stuff I definitely studied. Right now my biggest wall is the de-escalation scenarios. Like, I can identify the "correct" answer in isolation but when there's a long call transcript and three plausible responses, I second-guess myself every single time.
Would love to compare notes if you're open to it. Curious what's tripping you up with the caller center material specifically — is it more the handling procedures or the performance metrics side? Those two feel totally different to study for and I've been splitting my time unevenly. Also wondering if you've been doing timed practice or just working through questions at your own pace so far.
