What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Business continuity management concepts and planning the implementation | Not published |
| Implementing the management system, monitoring, improvement and the certification audit | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does an incident response structure need to be able to do quickly?
- Produce a written report for the certification body
- Contact every interested party within the first hour
- Assess, take control and decide on activation — correct
- Establish the root cause before taking any action
Why: Early in an incident the structure must size up the situation and decide on activation, and speed here shapes how well the whole response proceeds.
2. Why keep continuity distinct from disaster recovery?
- Activities vs technology — correct
- They address the exact same scope
- DR is broader than continuity
- Continuity only restores servers
Why: Continuity sustains whole business activities, while DR is the narrower restoration of the supporting technology.
