Adaptive Testing

Hi

I'm due to sit A+ H/W & O/S in a few weeks time

With regards to adaptive testing, if you were to get a "select all that apply" type question and you only selected 2 answers but you should have selected say 3, would you get any credit for this?

I.E would the question be marked as "wrong" as opposed to giving you credit for the answers you did select correctly?

Thanks

    It's very logical actually... you get points for questions that you answer correctly... if you do not select all the correct answers the question is not correctly answered, hence you don't get any points... for it.

    Good luck!

    CompTIA's exams will all tell you how many to select for the multiple answer questions, so you should have no problem with that for the A+ exam.

    MS exams are different, and they do not tell you how many to select. On their tests, you have to select all the correct answers, and (as mentioned before) there is no partial credit. You either get it right or wrong.

    Hope that helps!

    actually on m$ tests some questions will tell you how many to choose others will just tell you choose all that apply even if there is only one correct answer

    that doesn't sound fair, but i guess the only way to find out if somebody knows-their-stuff is to try and catch them out like that ;)
