Episode 57 — Execute your exam-day gameplan calmly, decisively, and to full effect
The final episode of the series teaches you how to execute your exam-day gameplan with tactical composure, ensuring that your preparation is translated into a successful certification outcome. We discuss the "gameplan" as a pre-defined sequence of actions that protects your mental energy, such as scanning for easy questions first or knowing when to flag and move past a difficult scenario. We define "tactical composure" as the ability to stay calm and analytical even when faced with unfamiliar technical topics or complex situational questions. For the GIAC exam, candidates must manage their time with precision, avoiding the pitfall of over-calculating a single risk score at the expense of later sections. Best practices include trusting your initial professional instinct and only changing an answer if you find definitive evidence that you misread the question. Imagine walking out of the testing center with the confidence of a certified leader, having demonstrated the poise and the foresight required of a seasoned cybersecurity strategist.
