CLEP Scoring for "Check All That Apply" questions? - greencouch - 08-12-2017
I'm taking the Information Systems CLEP next week, and have heard that there's numerous questions that ask you to "check all that apply". Does anyone know how these questions are scored? I know only correct answers are counted in the score calculation, but if I don't check a box during one of these "multi-check" questions, is the entire question seen as an incorrect answer?

It's possible that I'm totally wrong, especially if there has been some type of format change, but on the exams I took, the questions that asked for multiple answers were presented like this:
(A) I only
(B) II only
© III only
(D) I & II
(E) II & III

Either the answer is correct or not, there is no partial credit (like if you chose A, but the correct answer was A & C).

Multiple Answers like All of The Above, None of The Above, A & C, I & III are easily some of my favorite and least favorite questions. At times, they are by far the easiest questions just from the process of eliminations and other times can drive you crazy with each selection being pretty close to the right answer but with subtle flaws.

Whenever I've taken a CLEP, these questions used the format that Cookderosa mentioned.
