Spend your time where the weight is, not evenly.
Roughly 2 minutes per question, real buffer if you use it deliberately.
Pace
Flag & skip anything unclear within 60-90 seconds — return with remaining time
Study weight
Domains 2+3 = 60% of the exam — weight review time to match
Scenario reading
Restate the constraint in one sentence before reading answer choices
Most wrong answers are technically real GCP features — they simply don't fit the stated constraint. The exam tests judgment against a scenario, not trivia recall alone.
