This post provides two example VCDX mock design scenarios that you can use in your VCDX preparation. The PDFs merely provide a scenario that you and your mock panel can leverage and build upon.

So you need to train yourself to look beyond the generic question and extrapolate the answer from the possibilities contained within. This includes clarifying the question with the Panel and demonstrating your knowledge. Always be mindful of point scoring opportunities.
