Exam questions have different point-values. Some questions will involve tasks or skills that are considered more difficult and/or time-intensive; such questions will be weighted more than a question that is simpler and/or involves basic skills only to complete. Some questions may also be multi-part and so tend to be worth more in points.
Exam items with multiple parts have multiple 'checks' (one for each verifiable component of the answer). Candidates will be given credit for each successful check, so partial credit is possible on such items.
