Partial Credit

According to Cisco they give partial credit for the Sims, but does anyone know if they give partial credit for multiple answer questions?
I'm sitting the 801 this Fri.

No they don't. The question is not answered correctly if you didn't select all options that together form a valid answer.

Wow Johan beat me to this answer lol... I was writing a reply at the same time he was and he posted before me Any who, no they dont give partial credit for incorrect answers on multiple choice questions. They do however give partial credit for sims because of the weight of the sims.

Thanks. That's what I thought

Well just for the record, I had a student who took his CCNA today, and got an 860, he totally bombed 2 out of 3 simulators, (didnt even answer them) and he was pretty sure he got most of his multiple choice questions right, and he passed... but dont try to do the same as he did, i wouldnt wana be responsible for any one failing lol...

Don't forget there are ungraded questions on the exam.... I'd guess one of the SIMs could have been an ungraded new one being tested to replace one of the "real SIMs" on future exams.

I always wonder about how someone can bomb the simple hands on SIMs for the CCNA and then think they got all the other questions right....
