These are the kinds of questions that I enjoy seeing because they are
actually asking for specific insights that are not necessarily found from
conventional research methods.
The answer is that some questions carry more weight than others. Weighted
questions are those that cover multiple areas within the parameters of a
single exam question. For example, you may see a question that asks you to
identify both the purpose and numerical designation of an IP address, the
default gateway, the subnet mask, and the DNS id of a computer given
standard ipconfig info given from a command line entry. This tests not only
your ability to identify each of these, but to distinguish the purpose and
function of each of these networking concepts.
