  • 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.

  • This means that Micorosft does not tell us how many questions we will get?
