How long does an exam take?

Question
-
I browsed dozens of Microsoft Certification pages and cannot find how long does 70-536 takes and how many question will I get. Do I need to answer a question in certain time or not? Could somebody send me link where to get these information? Thanks.

Average seat time is between 90 & 110mins (+extra 30 if its not in your native language).
Number of questions varies between 50&60 but dont be surprise if you see less than 50

Unfortunately not; many times, they add beta questions with your regular questions which don’t get counted toward your actual score.
Hope this is helpful.

Why are some questions not scored? Microsoft is committed to continually updating exam content and utilizing innovative testing techniques. Our goal is to increase the relevance of our exams, offer a more comprehensive and valuable certification, and ensure the security of exam content. To gather the data needed to update and improve the quality of exams, we need to present new content to candidates without counting the results toward their score.
