• There are 90 days to complete the test after the training ends, however, we recommend that one should complete the test within one week of the class

• There is only one question type. Each question has 4 options, one correct answer.
• One can revisit the answers before submitting finally
• There is no negative marking.
• The CSM test is not proctored, that means one does not have to keep the cameras on while giving the test.

  you marks one gets, one will not be allowed to appear for the CSM test the second time. The
  second attempt is allowed only if one fails in the test
