When we calculate your score, we look at incorrect answers/number of questions, instead of averaging the percentage scores for each section. The problem with the second method is that not all sections have the same number of questions, and so the percentages aren't all weighted the same.

Each test question is designed to test your knowledge. Topics are pulled directly from the key points laid out in each of the 9 lessons. Yes, they're tough. But that certificate means something special, so it ought to be hard to get one.
