"passed last week. procrastinated way too long and crammed the last two weekends on ntfs artifacts since that was my weak spot. the practice questions saved me tbh, kept missing the same stuff until it finally clicked."

"honestly went in pretty skeptical since ive burned money on prep stuff before that didnt help. ended up using gcfaexam.com for a few weeks, mainly the timeline analysis practice sets and the mistake review after each attempt."

"the full length mock exams were the biggest help for me, just getting used to the 3 hour pace and not panicking on the cyberlive tasks. windows artifact questions were tougher than i thought theyd be. glad its over lol."
