Episode 1 — Decode the GCCC blueprint: domains, scoring, pacing, and what 71% demands
This episode focuses on interpreting the GCCC exam blueprint so you can study with precision instead of guesswork. You’ll break down how domains shape the question mix, what a passing score means in practical terms, and how pacing decisions affect outcomes when time pressure builds. We’ll translate “71%” into a performance target by discussing consistency across domains, avoiding preventable misses, and recognizing when a question is testing definitions versus applied judgment. You’ll also learn exam-day tactics like timeboxing per block of questions, identifying high-effort traps, and using a disciplined second-pass review to recover points without running out of time. Finally, we connect blueprint awareness to real work by showing how control intent and operational evidence commonly appear in scenario-style prompts.
