Is there negative marking? How are the exams scored?
Over the last two years, Global education portfolio management completed a comprehensive review of SAP’s certification strategy and created a roadmap for enhancing the value of the certification program as a key business enabler for SAP going forward. This program focuses on building a value-add certification community for SAP certified individuals as well as helping SAP customers and partners to leverage certification as a benchmark for engaging, recruiting or training properly skilled SAP resources. The roadmap outlines the required steps until the end of 2008 to introducing multi-tiered career-enabling certification tracks and advanced-level certification to better address the needs of the markets. This effort also includes changes to the way we design the Global certification portfolio, produce, deliver, review, and report on our certification programs. In order to publish more job-task oriented certification exams, also at the advanced professional level, SAP Education has changed
In order to publish more job-task oriented certification exams, also at the advanced professional level, SAP Education has changed the exam scoring models for all new exams published since September, 2007, to a dichotomous scoring model. The dichotomous scoring model scores multiple response questions as either correct or incorrect and does not give partial grades for responses. This better reflects the need for SAP customers and partners to know whether a certified individual can perform a task to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. Leaving a question blank is equivalent to zero points or zero score or no answer.
