Read this before you start
- Pass mark 80%. Score it or better and your certificate and badge are issued the moment you submit.
- One more chance. If you do not pass, you can retake it straight away. That is 2 attempts in total.
- 15-day cooldown. If the second attempt also falls short, the exam closes for 15 days. Then you get 2 fresh attempts.
- 1 minute per question plus lab time. The timer never pauses.
- It runs in fullscreen. Switching tabs or leaving fullscreen is a warning; on warning 3 the exam stops and is scored as it stands, and a stopped exam cannot earn the certificate.
- Every attempt counts from the moment it starts, so close other tabs first.
Each live lab is worth 5 points of the total score.
