Failed my Mastery level 10 test. Here's what I had to deal with.

There are nine platforms in front of you, and three other raised platforms (That the Grineer will spawn on once you start the test). When you stand on a platform, a timer that you can't see goes off. When the timer goes down, the platform disappears. Dunno what the timer is on it, though. Was busy trying not to fail.

On those three raised platforms, Grineer start spawning and shooting at you. I don't know how many Grineer is needed to kill here, but they don't spawn all at the same time.

My recommendation is to use your first attempt to find the timer on the platforms that way you can maximize your use of them on your next attempt. As far as I remember, you do not get a timer telling you when the platform is going away (It doesn't fade away, it literally just disappears). Bringing a weapon that's effective at medium-far range is a nice option, since you need to kill the Grineer quickly in order for them to keep spawning.

Of course, you don't need to follow my recommendation to the letter. You can do as you'd like. Just make sure you know a little bit of what you're getting into before doing it so you don't fail like I did. :/
