Tips & Tricks
Logo
• Believe in the preparation that you did and the time that you spent.
• During your examination depend on your concept wise understandings. Keep
guessing as the final option.
• In the available options, Eliminate the wrong one(s) first.
• Pay attention to “Select 2 options” questions. Nearly 45% to 50% questions will ask
you to select correct 2 options.
• Don’t spend more than 2 minutes for a question, if you need more time, eliminate the
wrong one(s), choose the correct one(s) that you guess and keep the question in
review.
• Don’t keep all the question in review unless you are not confident.
• Don’t panic when questions comes with 10 to 15 lines of code. Though question is
big with several lines of code, they will be specific about one concept only (E.g., like
promises and chaining)
• Remember you have,
• 60 questions (no 5 non-scored questions like PD1 or PAB)
• 105 minutes
• Passing score: 65%
