Note: The final exam includes 100 multiple-choice questions, is timed (120 minutes) and must be completed in a single session. If you do not pass on your first attempt, you can launch the exam again a second time. The passing score is 70%. At the end of the exam, you will see a learning objective of how you did on each section. Please record this information for future reference​.
