PcM Question - What is the best way to study the Financial Metrics part of the exam? This is often what I trip up on and I have attended the workshop on Sundays but can’t seem to get all the different formulas down. Any suggestions? I also can hear loud and clear! ---

Will the B101 and other contracts be provided in the Reference tab during the exam? ---

To clarify. If you are(as the architect) identified as the IDM in the B101 it is not considered an additional service correct? ---

Do you recommend actually memorizing the additional services? ---

@jackie.ymana I don’t think you can expect to have B101 provided as reference to answer this question. If it was in the Case studies portion maybe but as a general Multiple Choice. NO they would not provide it. ---

I typically use the strike-through tool when I do eliminations just so I don’t miss anything or forget what I decide is not correct. I wanted to pass that on to others if they didn’t realize or know about that tool. ---

There is also the highlight tool, which I use when I want to highlight important items in the question. ---

I have used the highlight tool a bit but i feel like it does seem to slow down my question answering sometimes because the UI isn’t great. [Next page](https://community.blackspectacles.com/t/are-live-pcm-mock-exam/4680.md?page=2)
