So I just got my results back and I passed the ICP exam on my second try, and honestly I'm still a little shocked. The first time I sat for it I went in way too confident, did maybe a week of light reading, and completely bombed the scenario-based questions. Failed by like 8 points. Humbling experience.
This time around I gave myself six weeks and actually followed a real structure. The biggest game-changer was finding a solid ICP practice test that mimicked the actual question format — multiple choice with those annoying "select all that apply" ones. I did timed sets every other day and tracked which domains I kept missing. For me it was the facilitation techniques section, which I genuinely did not expect going in.
My ICP study guide of choice was the ICAgile official materials combined with a few community-written breakdowns I found in this forum actually. If anyone's prepping right now and wants my exam tips, happy to share my full week-by-week schedule. Just drop a question below — wish someone had done that for me before attempt one.
