2)
I want to know how lengthy the codes are
3)
Ar there any long codes?

Are most of the questions based on codes or general theory questions.
-Thanks in advance

I finished the exam in about an hour (they give you two). That gave me a good hour to look back at my responses. So, in that respect, I had plenty of time. However, some don't take exams as quickly as I do (and many go much faster), so I guess this will vary. The best you can do is to take a couple full-length mock exams and time yourself. See how long it takes you.
Most of the code you'll have to look at isn't longer than a dozen lines. Most are much shorter (3 or 4 lines) and a couple will probably be longer. I wouldn't worry about looking through pages of code on the exam. The people that wrote it know your pressed for time.
You'll find a good mix of theory questions and code-cased questions. I'd say probably around half and half.

If you are prepared for the exam, you have plenty of time. I took my time - I deliberately went slow and made sure I carefully read the questions and answers before rushing to answer, as this was a mistake I made on many of the mocks. I still had 30 minutes left over - plenty of time to review the 12 questions I had marked because wasn't sure about them.
The code examples are not too long - maybe 10-15 lines depending on the example.
I didn't have "theory" type questions - I didn't have to write explanations, if that is what you mean. What I did have to understand was exactly what the compiler would do in each situation.

It is easy said but hard done. But anyway, a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step, and with the help from so many kind sheriffs and bartenders here, greenhorn like me will definitely pass the exam smoothly in the forseeable future.
