Just passed CCT — honest breakdown of what actually helped

Got my results today — passed! Wanted to write up what actually made the difference since most study advice I found online was either vague or trying to sell something.

What worked for me:

The most useful thing was drilling "cct test" until I genuinely understood why each answer was right, not just which one was right. I stopped doing marathon study sessions and switched to 45-minute focused blocks.

The practice tests here matched the real exam difficulty closely. I found questions on "cct practice test" especially well-calibrated — the format and wording were similar to what I saw.

What didn't work: reading the official textbook straight through. Too dense. I'd read a chapter, take a practice test on just that chapter, review every wrong answer, then move on.

Final score: 87%. Time I had left over: about 8 minutes.

Happy to answer questions. You've got this.
