Certify 100: A 100 day exam prep challenge

$9.99 to unlock Your first pack is on us.

Certify 100 is a 100 day plan to pass one licensing or certification exam: your exam, your date. Every day you do one focused 25 minute study block with your phone in another room, plus one or two setup steps. Days 1 to 5 get you naming your exam and your why, turning the official outline into a checklist, taking a baseline quiz, gathering free materials and building your calendar.

Daily workload: 3 daily goalsDaily core: Study one exam topic
Difficulty: Challenging

Example: a sample day

Day 1: what a day looks like

Daily core Choose your exam and study its first topic Today's version of the daily core
Task 2 Record your exam, format and real deadline
Task 3 List the study materials you can use

Need a lighter day? Can't fit it in today? Use a Rest Day: your streak is kept and the day waits for you.

Every day has 3 goals: your daily core (the same every day), Task 2 and Task 3, each with a short why. Open a day to read all three.

- Daily core Today's version of the daily core
  Choose your exam and study its first topic
  Go to your exam provider's official website and find the current content outline, sometimes called a blueprint or test specifications. Pick one topic from it, ideally a heavily weighted one, and study it for about 20 minutes using authorized materials you already have or can get free, such as official samples, course notes or a library prep book. Then close everything and explain the topic in two or three sentences. Cannot find the outline yet? Use your course syllabus today and note that.
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Record your exam, format and real deadline
  Write your exam's full name, the provider, your actual or target date and the scheduling and retake rules. Note the format of each part: multiple choice, problem sets, written responses, a practical task or an oral demonstration. If your date is less than 100 days away, mark which topics to cover first. Save this as Exam plan.
  Why: Your real date and format decide how you practice and how much time each topic gets.
- Task 3
  List the study materials you can use
  List the authorized materials you can get to now: official samples and tutorials, program notes, a library prep book (check the catalog, since holdings vary) or free question sources the provider recommends. Mark which are free or already owned. Buying anything is optional.
  Why: Knowing what you have means each study block starts with material instead of a search.
- Daily core Same every day
  Study one exam topic
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Turn the official outline into a topic checklist
  Using the outline you found on Day 1, write every topic as a line in a list named Exam topic checklist. Add columns for exam weight, date studied, demonstrated (you explained it without notes or answered practice items on it correctly) and confidence from 1 to 5. Mark the topics you studied on Days 1 and 2 as studied.
  Why: A checklist shows coverage and evidence, not only how confident you feel.
- Task 3
  Read the official candidate handbook rules
  Find the candidate handbook or test day rules on the provider's site. Note ID requirements, allowed items, breaks, accommodations and how to reschedule. Add any deadlines to your Exam plan.
  Why: Knowing the ID, break and rescheduling rules early leaves time to sort out problems.
- Daily core Same every day
  Study one exam topic
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Take a short baseline quiz
  Find 20 to 30 free practice items in your exam's format from the official site, your course materials or a library prep book: questions, problems, short written responses or practical steps. Answer them without notes or a timer, then check, score and note each item's topic. Save the set as Baseline quiz so you can retake it on Day 25. This is a starting point, not a verdict.
  Why: A baseline by topic shows where to start and gives you something real to compare against later.
- Task 3
  Mark your baseline results on your checklist
  On your Exam topic checklist, write how many items you got right out of how many for each topic in the quiz. Add three lines on what felt easy, hard or confusing.
  Why: Results by topic guide your next study choices better than a single total.
- Daily core Same every day
  Study one exam topic
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Gather your materials into one study folder
  Put everything from your Day 1 materials list in one place: a folder, shelf or box named Exam study folder, plus a digital folder with the same name for files and links. Note anything still missing and where you could get it free.
  Why: One home for your materials means each study block can start right away.
- Task 3
  Tell one person your exam and date
  Tell someone you trust which exam you are taking and when. Prefer to keep it private? Write your exam and date on a card and keep it where you study.
  Why: Naming the date out loud or on paper makes the plan concrete.
- Daily core Same every day
  Study one exam topic
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Build your study calendar to your exam date
  On a calendar or paper, give each topic on your Exam topic checklist its own days, with more time for heavily weighted topics and weak baseline results. Then place about four full practice tests spread before your exam, the last one to two weeks before it. If your exam is after Day 100, this pack's practice test days (36, 57, 78 and 90) fit. If it is sooner, move them earlier and write the dates down.
  Why: A plan tied to your real date shows what to study next and when to test yourself.
- Task 3
  Set a daily study reminder
  Choose a time you can usually study and set a phone or calendar reminder for it. Pick a backup time for busy days.
  Why: A set time means less deciding each day.
- Daily core Same every day
  Study one exam topic
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Start an error log
  Make an Error log in a notebook or file. For every missed item, write the topic, why you missed it (did not know it, misread it or rushed it) and the correct rule in your own words. Log every miss from your Day 3 Baseline quiz.
  Why: Each logged mistake points to a specific thing to fix, which makes later review faster.
- Task 3
  Make five flashcards from your misses
  Pick five entries from your Error log and make a card for each: the prompt on the front, the correct rule on the back. Keep them in a Flashcard box with three sections: new, getting there and know it cold.
  Why: Cards from your own misses let you practice the corrected answers from the start.
- Daily core Today's version of the daily core
  Review one topic from this week
  Light day. Spend about 10 minutes reviewing one topic you studied this week, then explain it in two sentences or answer two practice items without notes. That is the full study block today.
  Why: Regular study tied to the official outline covers what the exam can ask, and the quick check shows what actually stuck.
- Task 2
  Look back at your first week
  Light day. Compare your study calendar with what you actually did this week. Write one line on what helped you study and one on what got in the way, then make one change to next week's plan, like a different time or a shorter block.
  Why: A small change based on a real week keeps the plan workable.
- Task 3
  Plan one fun thing for your weekend
  Put one small free or low cost thing you enjoy on your calendar this weekend.
  Why: Something to look forward to helps a long study plan feel doable.

How Certify 100 works

What you do each day
3 goals a day. Your daily core, Study one exam topic, is the same every day. The other two are new each day: Task 2 builds the habit and Task 3 adds a different angle. Each one comes with a short why.
Time and effort
Most days fit around a normal day, all 3 goals together. Some days are lighter, and nothing needs to happen at a set time.
Difficulty and pace
Challenging. A real daily commitment from the first week, building to bigger sessions. Milestone badges at 10, 25, 50 and all 100 fully completed days mark how far you came.
Easier alternatives and rest days
Most goals have an easier alternative. “Choose an easier alternative” puts it in its place, and it counts the same as the original goal: the same square, streak and rewards. A rest day protects the streak on days life happens.
Pausing or switching
With another challenge going, you can pause this one any time. Resume later and you pick up on the same day you left. Remove it instead and your history stays: ticks, notes and photos. You always keep at least one challenge going. Up to 3 packs can be active at once, your main challenge included. Active and scheduled packs count; paused, finished and not started ones don't. You can own as many packs as you like and start them later.
What you own
Unlock Certify 100 on its own ($9.99 or a free credit) and it's yours forever, to replay any time. All Access opens every pack while you're subscribed. Credits never expire, so use them when you're ready.

Pack guide

How to use task details

The task title names the action. Open its details for the method, examples and any relevant precautions; Why explains the purpose. Save the stated output or record the action you actually took. Paper and other suitable tools are valid alternatives. Do not mark a real-world result complete merely because a planning note was written. Writing tasks can be done in Journal, on paper or anywhere you like. Linking them to Journal is optional.

Focus blocks

For any study or practice task: put your phone in another room or face down, write the one thing you will do, and set a timer for 10 to 25 minutes. When your mind wanders, notice it and come back. Stop when the timer rings and note where you got to.

Your exam, your format and your date

Practice items in this pack means whatever your exam uses: multiple choice questions, problem sets, written responses, practical tasks or oral demonstrations. Use authorized materials in that format; free and already owned options come first, and purchases are optional. Full practice tests are suggested on Days 36, 57, 78 and 90. Move them to fit your real exam date on Day 5. Day 100 covers an exam that is today, later, already taken, rescheduled or no longer the right fit.

Earn 4 milestone badges
