TCPMag.com: We get a lot of questions about how the scoring is weighting
with the hands-on questions. Would you care to share any insight onto
how heavily the hands-on questions weigh, for example, in the CCNA or
one of the CCNP exams?
D.F.: I can share a little bit with you. The one question that we do get
from time to time that we have answered publicly and I'll share that
answer here ... [is] we do offer partial credit on our simulation
questions.
So a simulation question is often worth the weight of several individual
[multiple-choice] questions ... on the exam. And at the same time
though, an individual who demonstrates partial awareness of what is
being tested on a simulation question will in fact get partial credit.
The simulation questions on our exams do form a significant portion of
what's being tested and I would suggest it would be rather difficult for
someone to be successful on our exams to have simulations without having
sufficient command of the subject to be able to perform on those
simulations. But we don't get into the specifics of what percentage of
the exam is tested by simulation.
