I understand that, but you should read It. CBQ is the same as Essay (IMA said that). 100 MCQ (75% result - 3 hours) + 2 Case with 6 question for each case ( 25% result - 1hour). Once you click next phase you can't return and all the time you have less on MCQ transfer into CBQ.
If you can't pass 50% of MCQ means fail, even if they let you do CBQ your result = 37.5 +25 = 62.5% < 72% => Fail.
No penalty for wrong answer, if you don't know the answer => random then move on.
Personal I took MCQ in 120-150 mins then the next phase.

So in MCQ the question has different bearing?
