Exam Experience
1. I Spent first 30 mins writing Process Map, Formulae, Inputs & Outputs
2. Exam was very simple and straightforward.
3. Through Knowledge of all Process is a Must
4. Lots of question on Inputs, Outputs and T&T, ( You must be able to differentiate between Inputs, Outputs and T&T). For eg. Question would ask you what is O/P of Process X for answer 3 of the answer choices will be either I/P
or T&T
5. Overall I spent 4 hrs on the exam, 2 hrs to finish the 200 question and another 2 hrs to review the questions again. (Just wanted to make sure I pass the exam)
6. Took 3 breaks ( 100, 150 & 200)
I wish you a very best of luck for you preparation.
