The real exam mixes multiple-choice and multiple-response questions, may include unscored pretest items that ACAMS does not count or identify, and has no scheduled break. This simulation follows the official length and timer and scores every question, and its share of multiple-response items may differ from the real exam's, which ACAMS does not publish.
