Tip: Begin with 20–25 question domain drills for weak areas, then move to mixed sets and full mocks. Aim for consistent ~75–80% before test day.

Suggested progression

  1. Domain drills (daily): 2× 20–25 question sets focused on a single Core 2 theme (Operating Systems, Security, Software Troubleshooting, Operational Procedures, Mobile/MDM awareness).
  2. Mixed sets (alternate days): 1× 30–40 questions combining 2–3 domains to build transfer.
  3. Full mock (final week): 2–3 complete exams mirroring live-exam tone/coverage. Review every miss and tag weak objectives.

Timeboxing

  • Domain set: ~30–40 minutes
  • Mixed set: ~55–65 minutes
  • Full mock: ~90 minutes (leave a buffer to revisit flagged items and PBQs)

Scoring & review

  • Mark + return: Flag uncertain items; review after you finish the set.
  • Pattern log: Track recurring themes (e.g., malware workflow order, share vs NTFS effective permissions, Safe Mode vs WinRE vs Reset, BitLocker/FileVault basics, Event Viewer triage).
  • Turn misses into notes: Convert each theme into 1–2 “rules of thumb,” then re-drill that domain the next day.

Fast remediations (common weak spots)

  • Malware response order: Identify → Quarantine → Disable restore → Remediate (update, scan, remove/reimage) → Enable restore → Schedule scans/updates → Create restore point → Educate.
  • Access denied: Check Share vs NTFS; compute effective permissions (most restrictive over network), ownership/inheritance, group membership.
  • Recovery choices:
    • Driver/app break → Safe Mode → rollback/disable startup → test
    • System file corruption → sfc → DISM → System Restore → Reset
    • Boot issues → Startup Repair (WinRE) → bootrec/bcdedit
  • Hardening quick-start: Updates on, Defender/Firewall (correct profile), least privilege/UAC, BitLocker/FileVault, limit RDP exposure.

What to pair with practice

  • Syllabus: Objective-by-domain outline → view
  • Cheatsheet: High-yield commands, flows, and pickers → open
  • Overview: Format, pacing, and compact plan → read

Tips for exam-style pacing

  • First pass fast: ~60–70 seconds per item; skip PBQs early and return later.
  • Eliminate aggressively: Toss options that break least privilege, policy/safety, or order of operations (e.g., cleaning before quarantine).
  • Aim your reading: For long scenarios, skim the final question first to target key details.
