Hi Sergio, sorry, I missed this e-mail from earlier. I know you moved the tech talk over to the examdev list but I'll just answer this question here for posterity. You are right that a weighting of 4 is significant compared to other objectives. However, at only 6.7% of the questions on the exams, it is small compared to the total number of questions on the exam. A candidate can know nothing about Samba and still pass the 202 exam. Of course, if the candidate takes that attitude towards too many areas, failure is almost certain. Even with a little study, 1-3 of the Samba questions should be answerable. How much effort someone wants to put in for that last one Samba question is up to them, though. It's pretty much a guarantee that, at least, one of the four samba questions will be difficult. Study accordingly :) Regards, -- G.
