BOMI SMT study plan

Map the full SMT curriculum outline into a personal checklist of every subtopic, marking each as known, shaky, or unknown

Define the core vocabulary of systems maintenance technician work, including preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance, and write a one-line definition for each term

Walk through the standard maintenance workflow from work request to closeout and list the decision point at each stage

Set up a spaced-repetition deck and seed it with 40 terms from this week's reading

Explain how scheduled preventive maintenance tasks are derived from equipment criticality and failure history

Compare corrective, preventive, and predictive strategies and justify which fits three sample equipment scenarios

Interpret a simple maintenance schedule and identify conflicts, backlog, and resource gaps in it

Draft ten practice questions on maintenance strategy and answer them without notes

Describe how work orders are prioritized, sequenced, and tracked through completion

Identify the data fields a complete work order record should contain and explain why each matters for reporting

Calculate basic maintenance metrics such as mean time to repair and mean time between failures from a small sample dataset

List the safety and lockout considerations that must precede any hands-on maintenance task

Explain how spare parts inventory levels are set and how stockouts affect uptime

Trace a fault from reported symptom through diagnosis to root cause using a structured troubleshooting sequence

Summarize the role of documentation and asset records in repeatable maintenance outcomes

Complete a timed 25-question mixed review across all SMT topics covered so far

Map the full SMA curriculum outline into a personal checklist with confidence ratings

Distinguish administrator-level responsibilities from technician-level tasks and state where the two roles hand off

Define the administrative vocabulary of maintenance operations, including service levels, escalation, and governance, in your own words

Seed the spaced-repetition deck with 40 new SMA terms

Explain how maintenance policies and procedures are written, approved, and revised

Describe how performance against service targets is measured and reported to stakeholders

Outline how user access, roles, and permissions are governed in a maintenance management system

Draft a short procedure document for one routine administrative process, including approval and revision steps

Explain how maintenance budgets and cost tracking connect to work order and inventory data

Describe how vendor and contract performance is monitored and escalated when targets are missed

Identify the reporting artifacts an administrator produces and the audience for each

Answer 20 practice questions on administration topics without notes and log every miss

Re-run every missed question from weeks 4 and 7 and confirm each is now answered correctly with reasoning

Complete two full timed mixed practice sets spanning both domains and compare scores for consistency

Review the weakest checklist items from both domains and close the top ten gaps

Write a one-page summary of the highest-risk topics to revisit in the final days before the exam
