I have started studying for SDM, using the PAK online seminar and study guide. I have been a little slow to get fully into gear, mostly due to "busy-ness" associated with family, but hopefully I can get two really strong months of studying in. I am finding the material so far to be both interesting but seemingly challenging to learn at a level required for a FSA exam. I could see some really challenging questions coming out of it asking very specific things, and it would be incredibly difficult to master every reading. As I mentioned previously (I believe anyway), the only strategy I have developed for upper level exams is just to try to learn everything! I'm going to keep doing that, and using the flashcards PAK provided as short term refreshes in between times I can make passes through each reading.
I did get a pass for my third and final FSA module, so I only have the DMAC left after this exam. Wow, it has been a long 5 years!
