Day 5 - D-Day Final: Exam Strategy, Keyword Translation, Trap Summary

The 12 final week is here. Today isn't new knowledge but converting exam knowledge to score. SCS-C03: 65 questions, 170 minutes, pass mark 750/1000 (scaled). Converting what you know to timely answers while avoiding traps is the last gatekeep.

Exam Operations Strategy

• Time: 65 / 170min = 2.6min/question. If stuck past 4min → flag for review, move on. Never spend 4+ on one.
• 2-Pass Strategy: 1st pass answer confident ones, flag rest. 2nd pass focus flagged. Spreads time pressure.
• Text First Then Choices: Read question's last sentence (actual ask) first, then body → less noise.
• No Blanks: No deduction for wrong
