Tips
There are no released past papers for this course yet. The sample questions in the Course and Exam Description are the closest thing available, and they are worth working carefully rather than skimming.
Use the CED's learning objectives as your checklist. Each one states what you must be able to *do*, and the sample questions show what that looks like when it is examined.
Practise writing short scenario answers in the threat–control–justification shape. It is the form nearly every extended question here takes, and it is easy to build before the first real papers exist.
