Pitfalls

Before you sit your exam, it helps to know exactly how candidates lose points, not from what they don't know, but from avoidable habits under pressure. These pitfalls are the real-world traps: mixing orientations, skipping the maintenance cycle, a thin risk assessment, a boundary slip in the room. Each card below is a place examiners are watching. Read the pitfall and why it costs points, then tell me the skill or strategy you'd use to avoid it, I'll give you feedback. Work through them and you'll walk in knowing where the mines are buried.
