Episode 1 — Decode the GPCS exam format, timing, and scoring with calm precision
This episode explains how the GIAC GPCS exam is structured so you can plan your study and test-day execution like an engineering problem instead of a stress event. You’ll connect question style and pacing to how you build and use an index, how you decide when to move on, and how you avoid spending minutes “almost knowing” something. We’ll clarify what scoring means in practice, how to interpret confidence across domains, and how to set a personal time budget that includes lookup time without turning every question into a scavenger hunt. You’ll also walk through a simple approach for triaging questions into “answer now,” “verify quickly,” and “return later,” with a scenario where poor pacing causes avoidable errors even when your content knowledge is strong.
