Great service!
The PHRi course materials were very helpful in my preparations for the exam. I employed the strategy outlined below in preparing for the exam:
1) Watch the videos and take the mock test immediately after completing each Module
2) After each test, review the answer sheet, and take note of corrections to the questions missed
3) After watching all lecture videos and attempting all Module tests, attempt the Mock Exam. This completes the first prep phase.
4) Phase 2 begins with taking all six module tests back to back; performance should be much improved since you have reviewed all answers for questions missed from the first take
5) Once take two of all Module tests is completed, read all module workbooks cover to cover and then attempt the Mock Exam, for satisfactory prep, practise until you are near 80% of correct answers on the Mock Exam.
6) Only review the corrections to missed questions on the Mock Exam after the second take and not between Take 1 and 2
With these tips, you should do well on the Exam.
