Before you can start
You are enrolled in the course.
Every lesson is complete. If the exam button is missing, look for a lesson without a check mark.
You are not in a retake waiting period.
For CGE-AZ, you already hold CGE-P.
During the exam
The exam is open book .
Questions are drawn from the question bank and weighted by domain, so no two attempts are the same.
You can flag questions and come back to them before submitting.
The timer runs on our server. Closing the tab does not pause it; if you come back before time is up, you resume where you left off.
When time runs out, the exam is submitted automatically and unanswered questions count as wrong.
After the exam
CGE-AUD: pass and you confirm the name for your certificate, then it is issued straight away.
CGE-P and CGE-AZ: passing the exam unlocks the capstone. Your certificate is issued when the capstone passes. See Submitting your capstone .
Did not pass: see Exam retakes .
