Know the format. 60 multiple-choice questions, 120 minutes, online, open-book, unproctored (CSA, checked 2026-11-07). That is two minutes per question.
Pass mark. 80% means 48 of 60. You can miss 12.
Equal modules. Six questions per module. Do not neglect a module you find dull.
Open-book is not lookup-everything. Keep a one-page index of your notes by module so you can find a term quickly.
Read the stem fully. Many wrong answers are true statements that do not answer the question.
Prefer layered, risk-based answers. Security and governance answers combine controls and tie to risk.
Two attempts are included in the bundle; do not burn the first one as a trial.
