Looking for real answers here, not the "study for 3 months" advice that everyone gives.
I have 6 weeks before my scheduled CLTD - Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution exam date and I'm wondering if that's enough. I work full time so I can only do about 1-2 hours per night.
I've been focusing on "CLTD" and "CLTD - Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution" practice material. Made flashcards for the stuff I keep getting wrong and doing a full practice test every weekend.
My concern is whether I'm spreading too thin. Should I drop some topics and focus on the ones with the highest weight? What are the sections that actually show up the most?
What was your actual study timeline? Not what you'd recommend — what you actually did.
Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:
The CLTD exam is more application-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand CLTD, not just whether you can define it.
My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.
Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.
