- Government ID ready for proctor verification
- All other browser tabs closed before session starts
- Quiet room; phone on silent

During exam — speed strategy
- Target ~2 minutes per question
- Flag uncertain architecture questions; return after first pass
- When two architectures look plausible: choose minimum context propagation + errors at correct layer
- When two prompts look right: choose more constrained and specific
- MCP questions: verify transport and auth match deployment scenario
