From Marcus Green "You may get questions in the exam that have no apparently correct answer. If you are absolutely sure this is the case, do not check any of the options."

Is this true?

In the new format the TELL you how many are true (Can you believe it!!!)- So I can't imagine they will create a question and TELL you don't pick any

Wouldn't it be nice though. Knowing me though, I would secod guess it and select an answer.

Hi,
I just took the exam yesterday for the first time. I am 100% sure that my first question itself did not have an apparent answer. There were 4 choices and it was saying there were 2 answers to choose.
I ended up scoring 93%. But I would like to say that there are such questions where you have no apparent correct answers. Now, I am not sure that if I had left that question unanswered, my percentage would have been more or remained the same.
Best wishes if you are planning to take the exam.
Rajesh

Rajesh,
If the exam said there were two correct, then they were expecting two answers. If you would have left it blank, they would have marked it incorrect. They are not going to try and trick you that way.
But I had one question that I also think they were incorrect on. I got a 93 also, and 2 of them I felt I could have argued my point and I am pretty sure those are 2 of the ones I got wrong. Oh well, I am happy with a 93
Congrats by the way!
Bill

I guess that advice is no longer applicable as they tell you how many answers to check. Mind you I think that many people didn't quite believe me previously.

Hi Bill,
The first question was so simple and I knew that the answer they had given was wrong. But I didnot know what should I do in such situation. So I selected the two that was very close to the answer. I also memorized the question and the four choices. i tried the same at home. I was right, the four of them were wrong!
Like you, I am also happy with the score of 93%. I wanted a score above 90, which I got.
Thanks,
Rajesh
