Is it best to do the Case Studies first in the exams?

that is entirely up to you. what many people find is that you can get lost in answering the case studies and run out of time to finish the multiple question/fill in the blank portion. Points for each question are the same so it's probably better to allocate a block of time to the 60-80 questions and get through them then have the 10 case study questions after a break. For example the practice management test has 65 questions and 10-14 case study questions. the exam is 2hrs 40 min. I believe I allocated 2 hrs for the 65 questions and the remaining time for the case study. that's less than 2 min a question, a fairly fast pace but doable. ThenI powerd through the case studies as best I could but each question took well over the 4 min allocated, sometimes you get lucky and just know an answer so that is helpful. Point being, if your computer is slow or you just get in the weeds with a case study answer, you'll only be hurting your chances to get through the question portion where the lions share of the points lie.

David,
Yes, I recommend doing at least one of the case studies first, before you get tired. And one after your break.
You always have to watch the clock so you don't run out of time or spend way too much on one section or any one question.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
