If you are well-prepared for the exam then you will be under time pressure because you will be able to answer most or all of the questions. Every sitting there are well-prepared candidates who don't pass because they ran out of time. Don't be one of them. I'm going to explain how you can avoid that.

On the left is the point grid from the 2018.Spring Technology-Based Exam. You'll be given something similar for the CBT version. This exam is 4 hours long and the simple yet powerful idea is to divide the exam into 4 roughly equal one-hour blocks. This is shown below. This exam has 55.5 points so each block will have about 14 points.
