Unfinished Business Remains.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. Again.

I haven't reviewed the material in months, but I am going to register to take the exam. A new dean at one of the colleges I teach at is big on ITIL. I hear about it more and more all the time ... It's time to finish the task.

I did attend Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training a couple weeks ago. This is sponsored by the US Department of Homeland Security and our State Police. Some useful information to know in the event of a disaster, but not much use in ITIL.

Exam registration doesn't seem to be as straight-forward as other certification exams that I've taken, but I think I've finally found a good site.

OK, so where am I at? To see how much I've forgotten, I've taken a couple sample exams identified in earlier posts:

www.ITServiceSuccess.com
60 minutes allowed, I took 20 minutes.
26/40 needed to "pass" and I scored 21/40.

www.taruu.com
26/40 needed, and I scored 24/40 correctly .

That's close enough for now. Many testing philosophies state that you should be scoring at least 10% higher on practice exams to ensure that you pass. It sounds like a good tactic, but I've never needed that in the past. I can make up the difference in the next couple weeks. At least I think I can. Scheduling the exam will force me to hit this hard.
