Exam format and passing score
The test contains 60 scored questions and five unscored validation questions. You have 120 minutes for all 65 questions. A passing score is 70%: 42 correct answers out of the 60 scored questions.
The questions are multiple choice. Some ask about a rule or fact; others ask you to interpret a figure or apply your knowledge. Read about question styles and how timing and scoring work.
