<got wrong correct the second try. That's 15/21, just under 75%.
That's assuming you got each one right on the second guess..
all I know is I took the test tonight actually before coming in here, and
I went through ALL 18 of the courses 15 questions each totalling 270
questions.
as for scoring I do belive someone said that the scoring is based on the
question, which I BELIEVE IS CORRECT! I think the scoring is based on how
difficult the question is. I got one wrong sometimes gave me a 97%
sometimes a 95% . But I looked at it this way. if I got 1 wrong and 100%
on another one, I totalled up all my wrong ones on which test it was. and
the ones I didn't get a hundred on I went back to it and took it again
and got 100% . but oringaly forgetting the percentages they use I had
28/270 questions. being 28 wrong out of 270 questions. which I think will
give me a good enough score to pass the test. aftering going back through
a second time I ended up with 6/270 ..

That approach should work.

| I can't comment on the OS exam yet but the Core Hardware
exam I got stuck with was more difficult than the stuff on
freecomtia. Sure they throw in few freebies but some
questions seem to come from outerspace. Amazingly I used
four different training sources and never came across some
of the info I needed to know regarding printers...Like a
previous wise student said...Know your stuff cause you never
know what you might get. I only got low 800s and I thought
I knew it very well :-(
