Does NWExam Show Results After Each Exam?
Yes, immediately, and on every mode. The moment a networking certification exam session closes it reports what you scored and lays the whole sitting out again beneath that, but it stops short of calling the attempt a pass or a failure.
Results live on two screens here rather than one, and knowing which is which saves a good deal of confusion. The first arrives by itself when the session ends. The second you go looking for afterwards from the exam page, and it is the only one of the two that carries a verdict.
What a Networking Exam Session Reports When It Closes
-
The Exam You Have Just Sat
The result is headed with the exam it belongs to, and that is worth a glance rather than a skip. For one certification the demo, the full-length sitting and the mini are named alike, and a score written down without its heading is worth very little a fortnight later.
-
Your Correct Items Against the Size of the Session
One line of arithmetic rather than judgement: the items marked correct on one side, the number the session contained on the other. Every item weighs the same, so nothing you answered well counts for more than anything else you answered well.
-
The Same Result as a Percentage
The line below states it as a percentage, which is the form a pass mark is written in and therefore the form worth noting down if you mean to set one sitting beside another later.
-
The Whole Sitting Again, Item by Item
Directly underneath the score and on the same screen, rather than behind a link or a report you have to ask for. What that review contains, and how each option is marked, has a page of its own.
What is absent is worth knowing too. There is no tally of how many items you answered as against how many you left, and no reading of how long the sitting took you. The closing screen is the score and the paper, and nothing besides.
Where the Pass Mark Is Applied
Where an exam states a mark before you start, the closing screen does not use it. The words Passed and Failed belong to the second screen: the list of your own attempts at that exam, reached from the exam page, where each completed sitting appears as a row and the label is worked out there against that exam’s mark. The verdict is real, then, and it sits one level up from the sitting — in the place where one attempt can be read next to another rather than on its own.
That separation is not an oversight. A mark stamped on a single practice sitting the second it ends invites you to treat that sitting as an examination result, which is the one thing it is not.
Why a Blank Answer Costs What a Wrong One Costs
An item you leave blank is scored the way an incorrect answer is scored, and the result keeps no separate count of what you skipped. Take an item asking how wide a channel a dense 6 GHz deployment can afford before it runs short of non-overlapping channels to plan with. That is arithmetic rather than recall, which makes it exactly the sort of item you defer — and deferring it is sensible. Failing to come back to it is not. If the allowance runs out first, the item scores what a wrong answer scores, and nothing on the result afterwards tells the two apart.
It is worth carrying that into how you sit a session. An item left blank to be revisited is a debt against the clock rather than a neutral outcome, and the closing screen will not remind you which debts went unpaid.
The closing screen reports the sitting you have just finished, the moment it finishes. Whether that sitting counts as a pass is answered by your list of attempts, and whether you are ready for the actual networking certification exam is a question neither screen was built to answer.
