Some questions call for suggestions about interpreting, drafting, or counseling that might lead to more effective structuring of a transaction. All questions are multiple choice. Applicants are asked to choose the best answer from the four stated alternatives. The test is designed to give credit only when the applicant has selected the best answer. Scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly.
Applicants are, therefore, advised to answer every question.
Time should be used effectively. Applicants should not hurry, but should work steadily and as quickly as possible without sacrificing accuracy. If a question seems too difficult, the applicant is advised to go on to the next one and come back to the skipped question later. Answer sheets are centrally scored. Both raw scores and scaled scores are computed for each applicant.
