Expert Insight
Use the competence domains as your study structure. If you can explain what you do during preparation, what evidence you need during stage 2, and how you document and close the audit, you are targeting the right knowledge areas. Time management matters in a three-hour exam, so practice working through scenario-style questions without over-documenting your reasoning.
