5.1. Exam Strategy and Time Management
Exam logistics:
- 45 minutes for approximately 60 questions
- ~45 seconds per question on average
- No penalty for wrong answers—never leave blanks
- Flag difficult questions and return after completing others
Question approach:
- Read the scenario carefully — Identify the business need, not just keywords
- Eliminate obviously wrong answers — Usually 1-2 answers are clearly incorrect
- Match need to solution — Don't recommend complex solutions for simple problems
- Consider responsible AI — Most scenarios require some governance consideration
- Trust your preparation — First instinct is usually right
Time management strategy:
| Phase | Duration | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| First pass | 30 minutes | Answer all questions you know, flag uncertain ones |
| Second pass | 12 minutes | Return to flagged questions |
| Final review | 3 minutes | Check for unmarked answers |
