        CFA Institute have responded on this:

        It’s officially 132 minutes.

        There you go! 😁

          I’ve also reached out to CFA Institute and will update here if I hear back from them.

            One possibility is that the exam will include 45 questions per session, with one extra question being a ‘calibration’ question that doesn’t actually contribute to your score.

            Do the mocks on the CFAI Candidate Resources website show 45 questions, or 44?

                The CFAI mocks have 44 questions each.

                    We’ll see what CFA Institute comes back with then. 😊

                    Good catch though!

                        Thanks for looking into it Zee. I’ve also emailed CFA Institute.

                        To be clear – I took the exam a few days before posting this. The actual time I was given was 132, which was a surprise to me when I saw it because I was expecting 135 based on the mocks and what I’d seen on their website (I hadn’t seen the page of their site saying 132, only the page saying 135).

                        Hoping for some kind of explanation / consideration from CFA Institute regarding the discrepancy…
