Hi Ash,
Personally I would suggest taking the practice exam for this. While passing the practice exam in no way guarantees passing the real exam, the content should be similar enough that you get a good feel for the type, complexity, and content breakdown. If there are lots of questions in one section on the practice exam there will likely be a lot of questions on that same section of the real exam.
On the other hand, knowing how many questions there will be doesn't help you with the fact that you still need to know all the info for each section. If you focus all your energy on a section with lots of questions and ignore one that you think will only have one question, you still have to know the answer to the one question that comes up.
Sorry if that doesn't sound as helpful as you hoped, but it is my personal best advice to you :-)

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your answers. It still did not answer my question. I'm smart enough to know that practise exam might be related to original exam.
I think it fair to ask going to any exam who many question will be asked from each topic.
For example, I passed E20-335 and there were 21 questions from Business Continuity, and some topic are only 3 questions. If I know before hand I have spent more time preparing the Business Continuity topic.
cheers

When it comes to such specific information on an exam, EMC has chosen, as has been noted, to be among those certification programs that do not publicize the number of questions or percentage of questions on specific topics.
The most important reason has to do with the ultimate goal of the Proven Program, The essential aim of the program is to promote the development of the competencies required to design, implement, administer, troubleshoot, etc., EMC technologies. We don't want candidates to be so focused on matching their preparations to the distribution of topics on an exam that they under-prepare themselves when it comes to working with our technologies. Thus, we don't want a candidate to give short shrift to a topic, because they know that the topic is only covered by a few exam questions, and then find that they are less capable than they need to be back on the job.
At the same time, we do provide candidates with some guidance. First, our exams and the training to support an exam are related. A topic that receives significant time/attention during the training will, in most cases, also receive more attention on our exams. Exam descriptions provide an additional means of helping candidates to organize exam preparations. Typically, the descriptions are divided into major topic areas each with one or more sub-topics. The number of sub-topics is usually an indication of how much emphasis is given to a topic area on an exam. As a general rule, the more sub-topics, the more questions.
Hope these comments are helpful.
