Just took the hotel exam. Passed with 82% and 50 minutes to spare. You NEED to use the book to answer some questions, it would be impossible otherwise (some of those "What number of x are there?" questions like in the mock exams). I didn't actually notice any questions that had been in the mock exams but I'm sure there were some. Every test question and answer had messed up text, I mean like words were not even complete (It would say something like "WhA. is the inforA. we neeA. to..." for "What is the information we need to...") and there was only one question I noticed which could not be answered due to the answers having a different order (like "A) B) A and B are correct, C) D)". I will be Emailing them to tell them to correct the text. There was one question where no matter how hard I looked I couldn't find the answer and it also wasn't Googlable, it was one of the NLP or coaching ones. Unlike someone else who commented in here, I had no duplicate questions.
There is a timer at the very bottom of the screen if you scroll all the way down. I forgot to start a timer on my phone before I began so was really stressing out about time until I made it to the end and noticed they had one. "Flagging" a question is not like reporting an inaccuracy, it is like a bookmark feature so you can easily find and go back to a question you were unsure about.
When you finish you get a message saying your score, that you passed, that the grades will be recorded into your file within around 7-14 business days, and that the diplomas will begin to be issued after that.
As you have 2 chances to take the exam, and your diploma is not actually issued until the end of the exam period I believe (April 31st for me), I assume you could study and retake the exam near the end of the exam period to get a better score. However a B is fine for me and frankly is in line with all other grades I've ever gotten at any school.
Overall I am super relieved and am now the owner of a Master's. I will take my MBA + Project Management exam later today as well.
Update: After combing through my incorrect answers, I had 3 where the test did not accept the correct answer, 1 where the jumbled text answers made it impossible to answer, 1 where the question was so vague I could neither know the answer nor find the answer in the textbook, 1-2 where I couldn't find the answer anywhere in the textbook despite the question being clear, 2-3 where I just misread either the question or the text in the textbook.
