The E05-001 exam contains 55 - 65 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts.

The passing score for the E05-001 exam is 61% - 63%, and the official registration fee is $200 USD.
