Multiple Answers in MC exam

[manmaria]

Most of you taken the MC exams noticed that some questions might have multiple answers. Out of 2 answers, if 1 answer is correct then do we get 50% of the score?
I do not think there is any negative score.
TIA

Sometimes the question is to find the BEST answer. So while both might be true, one is the better way.

I don't believe anyone but prometric or microsoft know the answer to this question. It most likely changes per exam or question though imo.

Paella, the question was actually about the questions with the multi-select boxes. They're usually phased like:

"If you need to deploy a solution using product X that achieves Y and Z, which two of the following steps would you need to complete?"

1. Answer 1
2. Answer 2
3. Answer 3
4. Answer 4
5. Answer 5
6. Answer 6

And then you have to pick two of the questions.

theravager is right though, nobody seems to know. Common sense would indicate that the questions that have multiple parts (i.e., multi-select and simulations) would be worth more than a question where you had to pick only one of four answers.

That's not to invalidate your comment, because you WILL get questions that list two answers that would be technically correct, but where one would be better than the other. I've even gotten some questions where the same exact answer was listed twice, word for word. I'm assuming that's a bug.
