This is an open book test so you're allowed to refer to the course material to find correct answers. I recommend you open the course material in another browser tab while attempting the test.
The purpose of the test is not to trick you with complicated questions. Instead, it's about ensuring you've properly absorbed what you've learned throughout the course.
The test should take around 30-40 minutes to complete but I suggest you set aside an hour, just incase it takes a bit longer.
