In the Special Equipment Administrator license exam, multiple choice questions are generally scored according to the total number of points for the question. For example, a multiple choice question totaling 5 points, which includes 3 options answered correctly, 1 option chained incorrectly, and 1 option left blank or omitted, would result in the candidate receiving either 2 or 3 points, depending on the scoring criteria for the question. It should be noted that, in general, candidates do not get marks if they choose the wrong answer or leave it blank.
In addition to the Special Equipment Administrator certification exam, many other exams use a multiple-choice test format and score the answers submitted by the candidate through a similar scoring system. Therefore, candidates taking any type of exam should review the questions carefully, think about them carefully, and double-check that their responses and answers are accurate before submitting them.
