| Hello, I've been studying for a couple of weeks now (MS training kit, measureUP questions, transcender, now ch9-10 in deployment guide) and am going to take the test on Tuesday. I was browsing through the forum here and I have to say that you people are really helpful. So my question is that when I called the testing place, they told me the test was 105 minutes long. But I've looked at some old posts here and they mention it taking 215 minutes (and transcender give you that long). So did they change it or did the lady at the testing place get it wrong? Thanks. | |

| Unless they have made a change recently, you should get the longer of the two times you listed. You may want to call back and check it out. Have you registered on the testing vendors website? It is a lot easier to book exams and check things out through the web. Best of luck! | |

| I just signed up on Pearson VUE, which said the exam allows for 240 minutes. So here is another question: about how many questions will there be on the test? The general average on these forums seems to be 4 cases with about 10 questions each, and that was what it was like on the Transcender exams. But this seems like a really long time for just ~40 questions. When taking the test, should I not worry too much about the time limit? When I did the Transcender tests, I still had at least an hour and a half left. Is this normal? Thanks. | |

| If you are well prepared for the exam, the alloted time is more than enough. The only time I would be concerned is if one of the cases is taking more than a quarter of the time alotted. Sounds like that won't be the case for you though. Yes expect 4-5 cases, around 40 questions. Good Luck! | |

| Well, thankfully, I passed! Thanks Jeff for all the helpful info. I'm sure I'll have other questions for the other exams in the future. See you all around. | |

| Congratulations. Having been through it, do you have any advice for those of us who have not yet done it? | |

| The only advice I can give is the obvious. Take as many practice exams as you can. Transcender helped a lot. I used MeasureUP as well, which had tons of questions. Most importantly is to carefully read the answer explanations to these questions and make sure you understand them. That's it, good luck. Since you've passed all those other exams, this one shouldn't be that tough. |
