Robert Starmer from Kumulus Technologies say that the key to passing the COA is, “to actually execute the types of commands suggested by the topic list. In this way, you not only ensure that you’ve seen the entire list of topics, but you’ve had a chance to try to execute the sorts of commands and actions that you’ll likely be asked to execute during the test!”
