With regard to the Practice Test 1 in Listening
Are negative marks given for the wrong answer?
Are marks cut for incorrect spellings?
In the Practice Lab Listening Test 1 Question 18-20, there appears to be 4 correct answers: C-F. However, F is not given as an answer. Why?
In Questions 21-23, the correct answer is B,C,E. However if I chose to write C, E and F will all my answers be marked wrong (since they don't correspond to 21,22, 23) or will I get points for 2 correct answers?
