How OCP 17 exam works

[raphaelzintec]

hello i have two questions

1. when i did OCA 8 i have seen one or more questions asking me to select correct options, but not mentionning how many.
Is that normal?

2. I will received 5 questions not counting in the score?
Are those questions not mentionned in Hanumant Deshmukh's book as split(), randomaccess and so on?

Regards

1. Yes, OCA as well as OCP exams tell you exactly how many options you have to select.
2. There is no guarantee how many such questions (whose score will not be counted) you will get. You may get 1 or 2 or more also. Such questions could be on entirely new topic (not covered in the book or mock, because, obviously, no one except oracle knows about that) or could be just a new question on the same topic that is already covered in the book.

As of now everything that is mentioned in the book can be asked in the exam and everything that is asked in the exam is covered in the book.
