Multiple Choice But....

Quick Question. I've been taking a lot of free practice tests online. I'm passing them but I've noticed, for example, there could be 5 multiple choice options and it says pick the methods used.. (insinuating more than one).

My question is about the actual certification test if it will tell you how many to choose or will you have to choose for yourself? I've noticed some tests say (Choose Two) sometimes or something of that nature, or does it simply say pick the best methods known. Figured I'd ask people who took the test before I go in there blind since it's my first.

Petrinoda: I haven't done the Network+ exam yet but I had a similar experience while doing practice tests for the A+ exam. However, all questions of that type on the actual A+ exams that I did (220-701 and 220-702) specified the number of choices you should make (usually 2 and rarely 3).

From my memory, each of the A+/Net/Sec+ CompTIA exams that have multiple answers specify picking the exact number. In other words, what Ivanjam remembers for the A+ exams is the same for the Network+ and Security+ exams.

Good luck.

Oh.. One more question pertaining to this topic. Say you pick 2.. But only one of your 2 answer are right. Do you get partial credit for that question ? Or is the question just deemed completely wrong?

I took the A+ exams last year and I tend to do a lot of research into certification exams. Due to the time that's passed, my memory is a tad fuzzy but I believe that the question will just be deemed wrong with no partial points. There's a chance I'm wrong though.
