If a difficult item starts consuming too much time, mark it for review and move forward instead of losing momentum. A full timed practice session can help you decide when to move on, when to return, and how much buffer to reserve for a final check.
The passing score for 3I0-003 is 75%, and the official exam fee is EUR 150 (may vary by region).
