Looking for real answers here, not the "study for 3 months" advice that everyone gives.
I have 6 weeks before my scheduled CACO - Certified Animal Control Officer exam date and I'm wondering if that's enough. I work full time so I can only do about 1-2 hours per night.
I've been focusing on "CACO" and "CACO - Certified Animal Control Officer" practice material. Made flashcards for the stuff I keep getting wrong and doing a full practice test every weekend.
My concern is whether I'm spreading too thin. Should I drop some topics and focus on the ones with the highest weight? What are the sections that actually show up the most?
What was your actual study timeline? Not what you'd recommend — what you actually did.
The free caco animal welfare laws regulations helped me understand what the exam actually tests rather than just what the material covers.
Same boat a few months ago. Here's what I'd tell myself:
The CACO exam is more concept-focused than the study guides suggest. They test whether you understand CACO, not just whether you can define it.
My tip: when you see a scenario question, mentally walk through it step by step before looking at the answers. The wrong answers are designed to catch people who jump to conclusions.
Good luck — the fact that you're doing this level of prep means you're going to be fine.
