Anyone done the Butler Hill exam?

I am due to do the exam but i just want to know if it has a time limit? im not sure if i should go through the guidelines a second time or if i can use them during the exam?

I guess the links in the guidelines are useful as real examples.

Anyone who has done this before, do you have any tips?

    My deadline is tomorrow morning at 8am. It gives you the deadline in pacific time in your email and I just googled it to convert. The deadline in my email was 12 midnight pacific time. I am pretty sure you can read your notes when doing the exam - I am doing mine tonight. Good luck with yours!!

    Well i submitted my exam last weekend and got an email today stating that they will not continue with my application, oh well, i thought i did alright but i guess they were looking for the perfect answers, i must have got close but not correct.

    I have also emailed them just to double check that i failed the exam, they didnt actually mention the exam in the email and just said the application will not continue, but i asked for feedback anyway.

    Ah I am sorry to hear that dthompson. Have you tried Lionbridge? Check on their website. I failed the Lionbridge exam but found out this morning I have passed the Butler Hill one!
