Episode 88 — Exam-day tactics: calm two-pass questions and “best answer” governance logic (Exam)
This episode gives you exam-day tactics tailored to CGEIT-style scenario questions, where multiple answers sound plausible and the goal is to choose the one that best reflects governance logic, accountability, and evidence. You’ll learn a calm two-pass approach: first pass to secure confident points quickly, and second pass to handle ambiguous scenarios by identifying the decision being tested, the governance objective at stake, and the action that most strengthens clarity, oversight, and repeatable outcomes. We’ll cover how to avoid common traps like choosing overly tactical fixes, selecting the most conservative control when the scenario calls for alignment and decision rights, or ignoring stakeholder and escalation realities. You’ll also practice how to eliminate distractors by asking which option creates measurable accountability, improves decision structure, and aligns to risk appetite and enterprise objectives.
