Short- You can work on your COBE exam for 30 minutes. However, many people finish it after about 15 minutes, so you have enough time to work.

5. cons Technical Not for everybody
You will have to learn the exam instruction and follow them exactly as you've been told. Be aware of recording your full answers, and don’t stop recording before you are finished. Also, be aware of how to operate the different buttons in the exam so you will not mistakenly delete answers. Also, remember to click the "next page" button every time you finish working on your tasks until the exam is over.
