After completing the first 200 items (Part I), candidates will indicate they are completely finished with Part I since they will NOT be able to go back to the first 200 items after the break. There will be a mandatory break in between Parts I & II to allow for the introduction of the reference materials needed for Part II. Any extra time from Part I may be carried over to Part II, which is a minimum of 1.5 hours. There's no official "break" during Part I, but a candidate is allowed to go to the restroom during the closed book portion if they ask, but the time will continue to count down. For test security reasons, candidates must leave personal belongings in the testing room. The passing score is 175 questions (out of 250 questions). All questions are multiple-choice.
