RCV Exam uppdate

So I took the RCV exam on Tuesday and got a 50%.
Not exactly very good, I failed.

So what went wrong. From my analysis I believe my main error was one of overconfidence and a minor change in my study practice which I have since corrected. So here are my main conclusions.

1) Actually do the practice exams, do not just analyze them.

2) Just because answer "B" has "X" does not make it right or wrong.

3) RTQ! (Read the Question!) I mean do not just skim it and go I know what they are looking for. Read it, sometimes there is additional information you will need.

4) Go slowly you have around 11 minutes per question so take your time if you can.

5) Read all the answers first BEFORE you try to eliminate any of them.

6) Compare your final choice to the questions and the facts. Does it address all the areas?

7) Do note read into the answers or questions. Use just the facts you are given.

8) Remember ITIL is CUSTOMER CENTRIC.

I am planning to re-take RCV this coming Monday.
