CTA Review Board Presentation Content Cheat-Sheet


Introduction:

Some of us analyzed the official, public review board scenarios to create a “CTA review-board-presentation content cheat-sheet”. The document contains the structure and likely topics.
It’s not meant to be seen as a shortcut to success but as a helper for your preparation.

This cheat-sheet was created before my board date. The content is solely based on analyzing the existing, official mock-exams. I added some of my own content. There’s no guarantee for your review board scenario being anything like that. This should not serve as the one single truth but just represents my personal style.

The presentation time stamps are based on my personal style. Everybody has their own rhythm.
Special thanks goes to Carl’s review board recording (Link).

Please, do not take he word “Cheat-Sheet” literally and try to cheat during your exam.
