CompTIA Exams question types are graded

Two important pieces of information about the new drag and drop and performance-based questions that you need to know:
Partial Credit; Scoring credit may be offered if a candidate answers only part of a question correctly.
No Negative Credit; CompTIA does not employ negative scoring on exam questions. In other words, scoring credit is not taken away for incorrect answers. A candidate should answer every exam question, even on the ones where they are not sure of the answer.

Testing Strategies:

The new question types like drag and drop and performance-based questions will be presented at the beginning of the exams. These questions can be more complex and take longer to answer than traditional multiple choice questions. DON’T GET BOGGED DOWN WITH THE PERFORMANCE-BASED QUESTIONS. You can skip questions and come back and answer them at the end. Here are some strategies to use when taking the exams:
Skip the Performance-based questions and come back at the end to answer them so you don’t get bogged down and run out of time.
Count the performance-based questions as you skip them so you know how many you have to do when you come back to them at the end.
Read over all the performance-based questions and answer the ones you are most comfortable with first. Leave the ones you are less confident about until last.
If you are not sure about some of the steps in the performance-based or drag and drop questions, give it your best guess. You may receive partial credit. Since CompTIA does not employ negative scoring a wrong answer does not hurt you any more than an unanswered question. Make your best guess, it can’t hurt you.
