How much time should I spend studying Task 3-A-8 ?

"Careful in spending" is the hallmark of the professional supply manager! Yet I find that CPSM candidates seem to get mixed up in "spending"  time for their study efforts.

I believe you should spend time in proportion to the number of questions that will come up from a particular section.So if you look at 3-A-8 which is about "cross-functional teams" for process improvement,international etc. you should give a lot of time to this section.

Why? because as the Study Guide 3 tells you (see page xii) this section has 8 questions compared to only 3 questions in  say Topic 3-B-2. In other words, you should be spending double (if not triple)  the time with 3-A-8 than with 3-B-2.

While taking the exam though you should have an "equal time" principle to every question - you should not be spending extra time on any question. Pace yourself during the test.
