This is very accurate. I feel like this was the hardest part of the entire process. I would go so far as to say if you get it unexpectedly and haven't been studying your chances are not good. It's pretty critical you take it soon (they usually give some time window but say its "ok" if you go longer and they would prefer you study and pass it.) This is true but if you do that you may end up with an interview later down the road which is lost seniority. Also some sort of CRM is required whether it's help from friends or a tabbed up book or a combination, etc.
