| I will post more thoughts later.
Even in my second attempt I just past with 847.
The exam is hard and some questions have very ambiuous answers to select from.
The TIME LIMIT on this test is VERY TIGHT.
The "Testlets" will kill you on time so you might think you have half the questions left and half the time but then you get a "testlet" inside of one question consisting of 4 sub-questions and multiple answers for each sub-question. "Welcome to testlet, an exam inside of an exam" | |

| I'll probably post something more this weekend when I am not at work, but my biggest question is around these mini-tests within the test that you mentioned. What is the deal with that?
Do they seem to do this around particular topics or does it seem to be more random? Is it anything like how they do the case studies or has this sort of replaced them?
Thanks for the heads up! | |

| I only got one testlet each time I took the test.
My second had very few questions from my first test.
There was a total of 62 questions not including the sub-questions in the testlet so time yourself for 65ish questions. | |
