Strategy 1: equal time per questionSelect your preferred training course below:

Allocate 2 minutes for each of the 70 questions. After answering a question, move to the next one. This will take 140 minutes which, if you spend 5 minutes reading the scenario will leave you 5 minutes for checking at the end that you have answered all 70 questions and haven’t missed any.
Strategy 2: two pass approach APM COURSES
Starting at the beginning go through the entire exam paper twice. The first time through you will answer the easy questions and you will mark your answer. “Easy” questions might be the ones which are quick to answer, or the ones which you are confident that you know the answer for. Select your preferred training course below:
Skip any questions which you think are too difficult or take a lot of time to read.

During the second pass through, you will attempt the questions which you skipped in the first pass. The risk with this approach is that it is more difficult to keep track of time and you might end up not completing all questions. AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COURSES
