Taking the CISM Test - A couple of questions
I have a couple of questions about strategies on how to take the test.
1. Is it recommended to answer the question on the scan-tran or write them on the question book first?
2. Should i skip the question for 2nd pass if i dont know the answer quickly?
3. How long does it usually take for people to answer a typical question? complete the test?

How you do it is up to you
I'm looking to get it comfortably done in about 2.5-3 hours then the rest of the time to review.
I then did a check to make sure i had actually answered all 200 questions and not skipped one by mistake and left the exam hall after about 3 hrs 15 mins. i didn't review my answers as that's when you start doubting yourself and 'correcting' already correct answers.
Don't underestimate the mental fatigue of answering 200 questions in a high pressure environment. If you find yourself getting 'bored' or your mind wandering go to the toilet and have a drink (of water!) I did this a couple of times and used them as psychological rewards for getting a certain number of questions done. I got top 20% so it worked for me, but everyone is different!
