Follow this program and advice given. It works! I gave myself 6 weeks to study and went through the program twice. I felt very prepared for the test. I would read the test question first (before the long stem) and identify what category of question it was. For example, this is a termination question, this is a legal question, this is a DSM question, etc... to orient me before I read the longer stem. This was extremely helpful and kept me from wasting time getting bogged down in a longer question stem or confusing myself in the details. I finished the test with about 20 minutes to review marked questions and only changed answers if I had an AHA moment. I took 2 breaks. The test center on Hawaiʻi Island would not allow you to eat anything or bring drinks, so I only had water from their water fountain. You could only take a 5 minute or less break for each break. (So check the rules of your specific PSI test center). Asya was a fabulous coach! She was encouraging and answered all my email questions quickly and I never felt like I was asking too many questions. I really wanted to understand why I got questions wrong on the practice tests. I passed with 80%. The only thing I didnʻt do for preparation, which I wish I would have done, was exercise. I pushed myself pretty hard and it would have been good to get out and go for walks during my breaks.
