The IBM AIX v7.3 Administrator Specialty exam gives you 75 minutes to work through 45 questions.

Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the SurePassExams test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.
You need 71% (32 out of 45) to pass, and the official registration fee is $100 USD.
