How many weeks did you actually study for CLTD? Be honest

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.

Great discussion here. One thing I'd add that hasn't come up: sleep the night before is genuinely more important than one more study session. I went in fully rested for my CLTD and felt sharper on the practice test questions than I expected. Don't underestimate recovery time.

Quick update for this thread: just cleared 91% on my most recent CLTD practice set. The cltd global logistics has been my main resource and the difficulty feels right — not easy enough to give false confidence, not so hard it's discouraging. Sitting for the real thing in 2 weeks.

Honestly? I almost cancelled my exam at week 4. I was working full time too, doing maybe 90 minutes a night, and nothing was sticking the way I thought it should. Wasn't sleeping well, kept second-guessing whether 6 weeks was even enough. But I pushed through and passed on my first try, so here's what I'd actually tell you: the quality of those hours matters way more than the quantity.

Six weeks is tight but it's doable if you're not spreading yourself thin. I focused almost entirely on practice questions in the last two weeks instead of re-reading the APICS materials, and that's what actually moved the needle for me. You'll hit a point around week 3 or 4 where it feels like you're going backwards. You're not. Just keep going.
