The exam duration is approximately 20 minutes, but it may vary depending on the course of the examination itself. It begins with a question on a topic chosen by the student. Students with disabilities and/or DSA for the verification test format can benefit from inclusive technologies, compensatory tools, and dispensative measures provided by the regulations.
