Common Questions About the IBM C2040-423 Exam
What is the IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 Solution Development exam all about?
The C2040-423 exam is the official IBM exam behind the IBM Certified Solution Developer - WebSphere Portal 8.5 certification, validating the skills measured by the IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 Solution Development credential. It sits at the Solution Developer level of the IBM certification program.

How many questions are on the C2040-423 exam, and how much time do I get?
The C2040-423 exam contains 59 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
