Response Limits

The examinee selects —from four or more response options —the one or multiple options that best complete the statement or answer the question. Distracters , or wrong answers , are response options that examinees with incomplete knowledge or skill would probably choose, and are generally plausible responses that fit into the content area defined by the test objective.

Test item formats used in this examination are:

Multiple-choice: Examinee selects one option that best answers the question or completes a statement. The option can be embedded in a graphic where the examinee “points and clicks” on their selection choice to complete the test item.
Multiple-response: Examinee selects more than one option that best answers the question or completes a statement.
Sample Directions: Examinee reads the statement or question and, from the response options, selects only the options that represent the most correct or best answers given the information.

Content Limits

Domain 1.0: Designing highly available, cost-efficient, fault-tolerant, scalable systems

1.1 Identify and recognize cloud architecture considerations, such as fundamental components and effective designs.
