WEIGHTAGE OF MARKS
You have only a limited amount of time to study, so you need to invest your
time where you can get the MAXIMUM return! Approximately 50% of the test
questions are directly from API 570. So, that's your priority! For every hour
spent studying the other publications, spend 2 hours studying API 570.
There will be about 75 test questions directly from API 570 .This document is
about 40 pages, that averages almost 2 questions per page. The remaining
65 questions will come from the 600+ pages contained in the other
documents. That's only 1 question for every 10 pages.
Following distribution scheme will help the participant to decide how much
time he should spend for each document during preparation.
