Nerdshit life protip: Use chatbots to grind practice tests for free

In retrospect, this seems obvious but I'm too r-slurred and/or uncreative to think to do this before But for those who like to gather technical certifications, GhatGPT can be a game-changer.

Instead of paying for online practice tests via Udemy or other online retailers, why not get generative AI to make them for you? This has been working gangbusters and saving me a ton of time. Instructions I used:

>List all current exam objectives in [technical certification exam]

>Prepare to ask me multiple-choice questions following those course objectives using the latest available material from the vendor that would be similar to real questions on the [exam]. Shuffle questions randomly between course objectives. Wait until my response before proceeding to the next question. Increase difficulty as we proceed.

>After I answer, provide if I am correct or not, explain why the correct answer is correct and why the wrong answers are incorrect. Append the results with a URL to a 3rd party source from [vendor and or related forum and or Wikipedia] for your answers.

Boom. Mega win for understanding the material without going cross-eyed having dozens of whitepaper tabs open like in the days of old. Asking it to provide a source increases reliability of the answers as this forces it to be self-checking and allows you to independently verify the accuracy of the information.

I've asked it to pause and extrapolate into deeper detail on subjects I was unfamiliar with as the generative test progressed before resuming.

I've also had it mix in a few "explain the [thing]" questions as well as "match capability to relevant service" questions like you'd see on a test.

Oh yeah, it's grinding time.
