What is the approximate duration of the Phase I exam?

Phase I is designed to be completed in a single, focused session, giving you enough time to read, analyze, and answer questions across all sections without feeling rushed. The best choice reflects a moderate-length window that you can manage comfortably in one sitting—long enough to thoughtfully process items, but not so long that fatigue would undermine performance. If the time were very short, you’d likely race through questions and miss details; if it were excessively long, fatigue could skew your performance and it wouldn’t reflect the standard pacing for this phase. So the correct option is the middle-length timing, which balances thoroughness with practicality for a single sitting.
