Troy,

Mod 3 was good for me (tough, but good). My advice is to know Make-Buy decisions, Leases and ESI subject matter. I found that the Study Guide for this module covered everything in the exam. No surprises. Just know the material and you'll be fine.

Go for it!

I am having a tough time getting through these exams. I have taken 1 & 2 so far and failed. It was very discouraging. I used the ISM study guide and the diagnostic test kits. I did well on the practice tests. Now I have module 3 in 2 weeks. I really want to get through this. Any suggestions?

How long did most people study for each one of these tests?

I heard some people saying 1 month each exam. I think it depends on the person and how much time you can dedicate to it. I will order my supplies soon to start my studying.

Why do these test have such a high failure rate?

Anyone has MOD 3 Knowledge series? This is the only exam I have left and failed it twice. I have been using the self-study book and the study guide. I would be happy to purchase it from whoever has no use.

Does anyone feel as I do that ISM should extend the deadline date of these exams

it was extended once before

They extended the purchase date of the exams but not the time to complete the exams from my understanding

i think i have Mod 4 diagnostic kit in a disc.

I'm on to Module 4, but there are no more Diagnostic Kits for module 4 available on the ISM website and I can't see to find anyone who has them or willing to share them. Do you have them? They are critical, I believe.

I have the Diagnostic CD's for Module 1. Do you need those? If so, I can ship them to you asap. If I find anyone that has the Knowledge Series for any module, I'll let you know and get them to you.

Go for it!
