In the SJCP exam, is there negative marking?
As in if you answer a multiple choice question, and there are 4 options, with 2 right answers, if you pick the 2 wrong answers, will u get -2 for that question?

Nope, not like SAT's in the US. If you get a question wrong you get no points. If there are two possible answers, and you select only one correct answer, you still get no points. Since the new exam tells you how many answers to choose, you will either select both the correct answers or select one wrong.

Brian,
on a personal note, I am so happy for the fact that they tell you how many are correct now. most of the questions i miss on the mock tests I would have gotten right if i had only known how many were correct. I think it will help me pass and get a good score too. I think you will as well. you have beeen studying hard i think.

You're right Randall. I've been studying hard for a while now.
I have the exam tomorrow (Fri), but I'm feeling quietly confident .
Fingers crossed all will go well on the day.
When are you sitting the real exam?
All the best,
Brian C
