Concurrency questions become manageable when you stop treating them as performance riddles. The real question is usually which design preserves safety and predictability.
Concurrency-choice map
If the requirement is mainly about…
Better first instinct
large numbers of blocking tasks
virtual-thread model may fit
task submission strategy
executor choice matters
coordinated shared access
synchronization or safer ownership may matter
multi-threaded data structure access
concurrent collection contract matters
What the exam is really testing
If the code shows…
Strong reading
ad hoc thread creation
executor design may be the better answer
shared mutable object updates
race or visibility issue is likely the core problem
concurrent collection
thread-safe structure is only one part of correctness
Common traps
Trap
Better rule
assuming concurrent code is correct because it uses threads or executors
task design and state ownership still matter
mixing visibility and atomicity into one vague idea
