For those of you have have taken & passed the Excelsior micro exam!
Is there a time limit to the exam? How many questions are on the exam?
I know it is computerized, so can you go back and review/change
answers, or once you have left the screen is that it?
Also, many have said doing the practice exams are helpful. Are the
questions similar to those on the actual test?
Can you tell I'm nervous/stressed!?!? I take the exam May 31st!!
Thanks so much for any input!!

I think there are 160 questions. You have ... what, three hours to do it? I am totally forgetting how long we have to do the exams -- I never took much more than an hour to an hour and a half for any of the exams. Yes, you can "flag" a question for follow-up or review if you're unsure of your answer, or you can choose to review all of them.
I think the EC practice exams are VERY similar to the real thing -- you'll definitely get a very good idea of how the test will go. I highly recommend the practice exams!!
Best of luck to you!! :)

Especially in micro where there is SO danged much information, the practice test helps trim down where you need to concentrate your study. Good luck!
