Create Good Habits for CEBS Success—Three Tips to Get Back on Track When You’ve Fallen Behind

If your Study Guide has accumulated a layer of dust or your CEBS® exam window has expired, fear not.  Here are a few tips to help you overcome a midsummer slump and begin again.

  1. Connect with Customer Service and transfer your CEBS exam. Before you start studying, it’s important to check if any testable Study Materials Updates have been issued for your course or if your Study Materials are set to expire soon. With this information, transfer your CEBS exam to a future testing window.
  1. Conduct an audit of how you use your free time to ensure you set aside enough time for your CEBS studies. Your free time is when you’ll be taking on your CEBS studies. Use the Eisenhower Matrix, a helpful tool to help you prioritize tasks, so you achieve what matters most to you.
  1. Take inventory of your current study habits and plan your future study strategy. Where you’re currently at is the starting point. Imagine the path that will lead you to CEBS success.
  • Examine the present state of your CEBS studies. List all your current study habits.
  • Think about how you would like to study for your CEBS exam. List all the good study habits you can think of.
  • Choose the top three good study habits that you think will help you make progress, and add them to your current study habits. Commit to this plan!
  • Consider enrolling in a CEBS Online Study Group With Instructor Support for additional help on your learning journey.
