    Hi,
    I have just completed the 50 questions in section 1 of the official exam practice kit and I am attempting to mark my answers, and here are my two questions:

    1. In some instances, you have to choose one correct answer from given options, e.g. A or B, C or D, or a combination of these. I take it you score one mark if you have made the correct choice.

    2. In some instances, you can be asked to match four concepts to their four definitions, i.e. you have to rearrange them correctly. How are marks allocated to such a question? Is such a question worth one mark or four marks?

    Thanks.

    All questions are worth the same nimber of marks in total. So Your example of having to match 4 items is worth the same in total (not four times aa much) as having simply to pick one of A, B, C or D.

    Thanks for your response.
    And what is the passing mark? 50% or 67%?
