Anyone know how long this exam is supposed to be?

I sat it today, 45 questions, and missed by 5 marks, getting 695 and needing
700. I sat it at Prometric and expected 2.5 hours but only got 1.5 hours.
I'm trying to determine if I was diddled out of an hour or if Prometric have
it wrong in their confirmation email.

Vue told me on the phone it was 145 Minutes...which is pretty close to 150.

Do you actually get that long or once again only 90? Anyone sat with them?

TIA
KIWI

If I recall correctly, mine was 90 min also... I just looked back at my
e-mail from Prometric, and it says 2:30. 291 was the same except less
questions. Missing by 5 points stinks, but since scoring is confidential,
there's not much you can do.

Just a thought--if I had certifications that everyone was itching for, it
would be a great extra source of revenue to manipulate the confidential
scoring to raise revenues, and no one would ever know...

Oh well, study harder

You left out one critical detail: How'd it go?? No gripes, so I'll assume
you passed. Congrats..

Yes i passed But had a few technical problems with the testing software,
as the session expired and no score was give or the questionaire. So i have
told the testing centre of the problems be interested what prometric will
say. Noticed that the timer is also incorrect being out by about 6 minutes.

But yes I passed, so that the good ending

That's similar to my own experience. No result and no questionnaire.

I received a 5 minute warning and when I click OK and looked at the timer in
the upper right hand corner I had 2 minutes and 12 seconds left. I only
found out I'd missed on leaving the room and retrieving the
printout...nothing ever came up on the screen.

I think I might try the other agency next time, they say the exam is 145
minutes.

Hmmm, weird... I've noticed on several exams I've taken the exam will
minimize (at first I thought it just crashed) which can get your heart
thumping after you've been there for an hour and twenty minutes! How did
you know you passed?
