Pass a certification the first time

The steps

1. 1

   Read the pass mark first

   Eighty percent across the paper. One strong answer cannot carry four weak ones.

2. 2

   Answer the question that was asked

   Define, explain, give the exact action. Do not pad with background.

3. 3

   Name the safety rule when it applies

   If the question touches money, IDs or approvals, say what you refuse to do and why.

4. 4

   Give one real example per answer

   A concrete example proves understanding better than a definition repeated.

5. 5

   Do not repeat one paragraph

   The examiner notices, and identical answers score like one answer.
