CBAP® Exam
150 multiple choice questions Guessing is unlikely to get the right answer; often two of
the choices will seem likely to be correct, and it takes knowing the BABOK® to know which one is actually correct
Practice exams are helpful. BAMentor, Watermark Learning and Inquestra offer IIBA endorsed training and practice exams.
If you get an answer wrong on the practice exam, find out why
Good luck!
