I had same experience last time i had an Microsoft Exam.
It seemed like it was over and when going through questions that i left for check, i found out that now i come to most time-consuming questions - scenario questions.

If i wasn't well prepared for the exam, i wouldn't even have time to read all scenario text.

You are told the total number of questions and the number of case studies in the exam twice before you start answering questions.

The exam is broken into sections, the number of questions shown is the number in that section. You could have one or more case studies. Each case study is in a section on its own. Once you submit the questions in a section you cannot return to that section.

Microsoft are always looking to make things cleared and one recent change is that you can see where you are in the exam and that there are case studies still to do in the Progress button on the left-hand side https://aka.ms/NewCertificationExamUI 

Microsoft provides the exam sandbox so you can see what you will experience in the exam https://aka.ms/examdemo and this video is also worth watching What to expect on your Microsoft exam | Microsoft Learn

Hi Nemanja,

Thank you for sharing your similar experience with your past exam, where you initially thought it was nearly finished, only to find there were still scenario-based questions remaining.

@Julian is correct. The number of questions will be displayed twice before you begin answering your exam. It will also indicate if there are case studies or labs to be completed separately from the exam questions. Please refer to the sample image below:

You may also access the exam sandbox where you can demo the exam experience to provide insights prior taking future exams. For more details, please refer to our public document:Exam duration and exam experience | Microsoft Learn.
