the exam for the 17th edition?

I have some old test papers and want to do them to the rules if possible.
I have 4 papers each with 60 questions, do you have a set time for each paper or a total time for all the papers?
Also, what is the pass mark? I know theoretically it should only be 100% but realistically is it about 80/85%?

Thanks guys.
 
My C&G exam invigilator told me the pass mark varies, but is around the 60% level.
 
I believe it's a 2 hour, 60 question exam for the full course (2382-10) and a 1 hour, 30 question exam for the update course (2382-20).

I have my 17th update on Monday, really looking forward to it.
 
2382-10

Is 2 hours, but you'd be having a shocker if your still in the exam room after an hour.
 
Au contraire, mon ami...

I was in the room for 1.5 hours. I went through every question, flagging up those I was not sure about, then went back making sure I was happy with the answers.

Sometimes you click the answer without hesitation, then when you reread the question, you realise you've put the wrong answer down. Then there's those questions which are ambiguously worded.

I did the full exam & got one Q wrong.
 
Thanks guys.

Only 60%? Seems quite low to me considering the importance of it. Still, think I will keep revising and aim for full marks, that way if I get a few wrong I should still pass when I eventually take it.
As SS says, better to read through first then take your time with each question.
