hi t_boxmy, Can you rephrase the question? I'm not exactly certain what you are looking for. But, speaking as the one of the people that help put the exams together, I can tell you that, for a multiple-choice multiple-answer question, you must get all of the choices correct to get credit for a correct answer on the question.
