Once Again i like to repeat the same dialog that After getting 90% how can someone remember more than 30 questions…:-)

Few Tips/Rules for the exam :

1.)    Exam contains 80 question in 3 hours which is more than enough.

2.)    There is no negative marking and all the questions are of multiple choice(How many answers are correct will be mentioned in the question itself)

3.)    You will encounter questions which are totally based on hands on experience and scenarios.

4.)    Topics like: WS-RM, BPM, and mapping are most important.

5.)    Many question will be 5-10 lines long in the exam so it is good not to panic after looking at the question

6.)    As there is no negative marking in the exam never ever miss a single question un-attended because 1 question makes a big difference.

7.)    If the question says that there are 3 correct answers to the question and it contains 4 choice. The best practice will be searching for the wrong answer as it is easy.

( But lekin kintu parantu Make sure that you don’t tick the wrong answer in hurry )

8.)    At last the most important thing “Don’t lose your concentration in the beautiful eyes of the Examiner”.
