Becasue the majority of IT certifications are in umltiple choice questions it is one I use to get them into a condition for sitting for the certs exams
However, newly developed cert exams are using simulation models for quesitons and answers a simulation problem is thrown at the student with the requiremnt of fixing the problem and a number of points are awarded to the answer
so exams require an 801of1000 to pass at 798 of 1000 a failure is announced with a retake at another time
