| The online format of the test is extremely helpful
from a strategic and timing perspective.
The remaining time is in the top right corner of the screen and you can
skip and “flag” or mark questions that you want to go back and review later. I would recommend highly utilizing this
functionality as this prevents you from spending too much time on certain question

With the last few hours tonight and
tomorrow morning I’m planning on reviewing my typed notes – looking for key
definitions, lists, terms, laws, agencies, etc to refresh my memory. In addition, I plan on going through about 10
final review questions from the Learning System in the morning prior to leaving
for the exam just to get myself into the test tasking mode. Wish me luck!

| I have also found the AFP Learning System extremely
useful. I took the Pre-Test for the

| Tonight I will take the first mock exam on the online
AFP Learning System in order to gauge where I am at in my studies and in
particular the chapters that I will need to review the most. I have three weekends left before the exam

studying accomplished.

| Most of the concepts except for
cash forecasting do not relate directly to what I do on a day to day basis, but
certain concepts like issuing commercial paper, long term debt, issuing equity,
MMF investments, fixed income portfolio, FX hedging and management are specific
of my greater Treasury department. The

| At this point I believe I encountered my hardest
chapter yet, Chapter 10, Payment Systems, Collections and Disbursements. This chapter is extremely dense with
definitions and will require patience.
From my memory recollection I believe it is also the longest chapter as

other chapters.

| Although I have been previously studying in sequential
order and am only currently on Chapter 8, it was my turn to present to my study
group and therefore I had to skip ahead to Chapter 13 – Financial Decisions and

| Specifically,
the Excel document will serve as a formula reference guide which I hope to use
either directly to memorize formulas or can be turned into flashcards. The Word document can also be used later to
create flashcards for definitions of any unknown content.

heard about the SFMTA study group for this December/January testing session via
an email I received and I decided to join the study group for various
reasons. Mostly I was hoping it would
keep me focused and help me track my studying.

| I decided to sign up for the CTP about a year ago and initially signed up for the last exam window. The
study tool I used was the AFP Learning System: Treasury, 3rd Edition. I

began studying.
