Exam time

5hrs 50minutes

Thoughts during exam
===============
30 min-- fail
1hr-- go slow-- more focus may change the picture
2hr-- only 70 questions. now do it fast
3hr- speed on track
4hr- again go fast
after 5hrs --- 30 questions to go. feeling 70/30 somehow better but battery down specially with type II diabetes. Suddenly straight questions started(simpler compared to first 30 minutes).
5hr 30 min-- started review with 90.10. 15 min review.
