Partial credit for PBQs?

[Diane Walters]

Hello

I am teaching the A+ online class and a student had a question I am not positive about. Is there partial credit for the PBQ questions on the actual exam?
Thanks!

Diane

My understanding is yes, you get partial credit for what is correct on PBQ's and even multiple select questions.

Question: Is partial credit given if I answer part of a PBQ correctly?

Answer: There may questions for which partial credit is offered. However, exam questions and their scoring are confidential, so no further information can be provided regarding which questions may offer partial credit.

I like the way they phrase that...

CompTIA doesn't uncover that data. However, they do say it is conceivable to get incomplete credit in certain examples. With respect to PBQs, CompTIA says, "There may incidentally be an inquiry for which incomplete credit is advertised. In any case, test questions are classified to CompTIA, so no additional data can be given with respect to which questions may offer incomplete credit." Regards: Do My Class Online
