This record contains the study materials Shazil Khan used to pass the Panaversity PCAO-F exam, organised so you can follow the same path.

## What is in here

**Courses** — Six of the ten Foundations courses, each with study guides, scenario walkthroughs, and practice questions:

| Course                             | What it covers                                                         | Key exam domains       |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| Just Delegate It                   | Delegation Loop, Delegation Brief, verification                        | D1, D2, D3, D5, D6, D7 |
| AI Fluency                         | The four competencies: Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence | All domains            |
| AI Prompting in 2026               | Context, examples, formats, iteration                                  | D1: Prompting (14%)    |
| ChatGPT & Claude Quick Reference   | Controls, model tiers, Projects, memory                                | D3, D5                 |

| Governance, Risk & Responsible Use | Data privacy, compliance, accountability                               | D6: Governance (15%)   |

**Practice Exams** — Two full mock exams (60 questions each) plus three day-drill sets.

**Reference** — Business vocabulary and exam vocabulary guides.

**Master Map** — The complete picture of every course and domain in one document.

## Recommended study path

1. Read **Master Map** first for the big picture.
2. Work through each course in order: study guide → scenario guide parts → practice questions.
3. After all six courses, do **Day 1 Diagnostic** to find weak spots.
4. Use **Day 2 Weakness Drill** on those spots.
5. Do **Day 3 Speed Drill**, then **Mock Exam 1** and **Mock Exam 2**.

## The three heaviest exam domains

Output Evaluation and Validation (21%), Workflow Integration (16%), and Governance (15%) make up 52% of the exam. Do not skip those courses.
