I would worry less about the specifics of how the exam is scored, and focus your energies on what the report told you in readiness for your next attempt. I would also advise thinking twice before changing answers - in my experience with my students most people choose the correct answer first time and then start worrying or being mis-led by the alternative answers..
That's exactly what I meant.
In my opinion, when you go to answer a question, don't look at the test answers at all if it's that kind of question. Answer the question to yourself and then see if it matches one that's listed. If so, that's the one you select. Don't waste a lot of time looking at the other possible answers.
I reviewed very few questions - basically the ones I had absolutely no clue about. Sometimes you'll get a question that makes absolutely no sense the first time around but after you do the rest of the exam and then go back, something will click and you'll see what they're really trying to get at. Interestingly enough, I think I reviewed a lot more questions the first time I wrote the exam (and failed) than the second time (which I passed) but I probably studied another 50 hours between my 2 exams.
