Hi everyone, I just finished the PCM exam. But because my speed is so slow, I am kind of confusing how many case studies are there? 2 or 4 in total? I remembered I just finished 44 questions and the first section ended and then I was involved in the case studies. I remembered I just did 2 case studies and around 12 items in total for case study and then the exam end. So I am so confused that if there is any more case study that I didn't even have a chance to view??

  Hi Ruby,

  All divisions of the ARE contain two case studies, not four. Hope this clarification helps!

  Ruby,  information about the exams - including the number of questions, given time for completion, and length of available breaks is listed in the ARE 5.0 HANDBOOK.  I recommend you take a look at the handbook.  It even includes some practice questions to help you practice your reading and understanding to try to get better at the actual tests themselves.  There are many other practice test references available in paper books and online that you can try out to practice taking the exams as well.

  I would say that being comfortable with the exam format and how to do it is a large part of the battle of passing these exams.  Knowing the material is very important.  Practice the exams so that it does not hinder your performance on test day.
