VMware VCAP5-DCD Marks

Dear All ,

     I Plan to Have VCAP5- Exam in Feb 2014

I see a lot or Books and Articles and Videos and Experience in Exam

I know the total Exam Questions are 100 Questions . from this Questions there are 6 Design Lab Questions

and total Score for Exam 500 Marks

now I want to sure from Point - are there all Question equal same number of marks

for Example : 100 Question /500 = 5 Marks for Each Question

that's means 1 Question = 5 Marks

or the Design Questions equal different number of marks from the Choose Questions

if any one sure from this point Please help me

thanks

Like the VCP exams the questions are weighted so they do not count the same

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points by marking the answer correct or helpful

The scoring system doesn't work like that, all scores are in the range 100-500 - get everything wrong and you'll score 100.

Items are also weighted, so some score more than others. It stands to reason that the design items will be weighted higher than the multiple choice items as they are more challenging.

Don't worry about the scoring, focus on knowing your stuff 😉
