There are 25 questions in this practice exam. You will notice that I have implemented a time limit of 40 minutes for the exam. This approximates the time pressure you will experience in the real exam, where you will be required to complete 120 questions in 3 hours (plus 15 minutes reading time) – i.e. approximately 1 question every 1.5 minutes. This will also give you the opportunity to test and see that your quiz timer will continue to progress through to completion once you commence the exam. You can take it as many times as you like. The questions in this exam are intended to give you a good sense of the types of questions that we will ask in the real exam. The level of difficulty is also representative of the real exam. All the best, Chris.
