Having a certification today for a professional in consulting, is of great help for a project that requires more than proven experience. A certification is worth more than a degree or courses taken through the journey of a professional advisor.
For a certification planning is very important to conduct the study within certain matters with respect to certification exam. So I'm putting a technique being very productive for me to consolidate knowledge and do well in the certification exam.
Separate chapters for reading.
When you have access to study literature, list the number of pages per chapter and divide within your planned time each day to achieve the goal of reading.
To consolidate what has been read in the chapter, I suggest asking questions about what was read for yourself and try to answer them. If a friend also helps to questions being asked each other.
I have no doubt that running this way will help achieve the goal of being certified.
Have willpower and study because get where you want.
