| Section 2 | 70% | 42 | Topics 4-9 |
| Section 3 | 40% | 24 | Topics 10-12 |

Timing checkpoints
Ninety minutes allows an average of 90 seconds per question. A practical plan reserves the final 10 minutes for review, leaving about 80 seconds per first-pass answer.
| Checkpoint | Target elapsed time |
|---|---|
| Question 10 | 13 minutes |
| Question 20 | 27 minutes |
| Question 30 | 40 minutes |
| Question 40 | 53 minutes |
| Question 50 | 67 minutes |
| Question 60 | 80 minutes |
| Review | 10 minutes |
A 60% pass mark corresponds to 36 correct answers when questions carry equal whole-question marks. Build a margin above that threshold in unseen practice rather than treating 36 as a study target.
