CSI exams require substantive preparation, even for experienced professionals. CSI can't guarantee you'll pass your exam, but we can recommend approaches that fit your schedule. All successful candidates start with a copy of CSI's free study guide and appropriate reference documents. Many more candidates take their preparation to the next level by registering for a CSI chapter prep program or CSI's web-based CDT program.  Last, tap into the CSI member community to gain the support of a mentor who’s already passed the exam.
