Exam Preparation Tips

Prepare

How you prepare for an exam can be the difference between passing and failing. How should you prepare?

• Carefully read and understand each question.
• Form an answer in your mind.
• Read all the answers, keeping in mind that the incorrect answer options were designed based on common mistakes.
• Eliminate incorrect answer options.
• Don’t get stuck on difficult questions such that you start feeling anxious that you are wasting time.
• Pace yourself. The duration of exams are an important element of test taking. Pace yourself when taking the test so that you allow yourself enough time to reasonably be able to read and answer all questions. You don’t want to work too fast or too slow. Remember, if you read or answer too quickly, you might unintentionally select a plausible but incorrect answer option that’s based on common mistakes in the real-world.
• Maintain a positive attitude. You got this far. Have confidence that you will succeed and good luck!

Test Requirements

There are several systems that work together to deliver OneStream Software exams. It is essential for you to test requirements of each system prior to your scheduled reservation in order to avoid issues on test day.

Take these important steps to be sure that you will be able to take your test:

• Several systems work together to deliver OneStream’s certification exams. It is essential that you test requirements of each system PRIOR to your scheduled reservation to avoid issues on test day.
  • You will need TWO cameras for your exam; 0ne on your laptop and one on your mobile device.
    • Download Google Meet for FREE on your mobile device.
  • Verify your sound, camera, and microphone all function in both sample meetings.
    • Use a supported browser: Chrome, Firefox, or Edge (NOTE: Safari and Internet Explorer are unsupported).
    • Turn off your popup blocker.
  • Verify you can complete this 5-question quiz PRIOR to exam day
    • You must verify your computer and testing location both meet the minimum requirements. Perform these verification steps EARLY and from the same PRIVATE location and room where you will take your exam, using the SAME computer you will use when you take your exam.
  • All background applications and processes must be disabled, as they could interfere with exam performance.
  • For best results, do NOT test on a work computer or Chromebook; there may be security configurations on your work computer that could affect exam performance.
    • It is common for companies to setup VPN and network filters that will interfere with your exam. Your IT department can add settings to allow your exam to function properly, but it may take a few days. If a candidate is unable to test due to interference with background applications and processes, the exam appointment and fee will be forfeited, and the candidate will need to reschedule their exam and pay a retake fee.
      • If you experience issues using a company computer or sitting at work, ask your IT department to following the instructions in this guide, which may resolve the issues.
