WAP Layers

The second practice test (the one with 35 questions) has a question that asks about the layers of WAP. One answer given as correct was that one of the layers is WSL or the Wireless Session Layer. I have seen this referred to as WSP or Wireless Session Protocol. Which is correct?

It is indeed officially known as the WSP layer, the Wireless Session Protocol layer:

I added "Protocol" to the answer in the practice question.

Thanks for letting us know!

Do they get that detailed on WAP on the Comptia test?

It's hard to tell in study sources what is too detailed for the test and what isn't.

I went through the morning of the test and made sure I knew my WAP layers and I don't think I ended up getting questions on it. I think I had a WAP question or 2 but nothing about the layers.

That's just my test experience though. Maybe others have run across those type of questions.
