The issue of weighting specific exam questions is part of the CISSP Exam
mystique (apocrypha?). It seems the weighting is done by imposing some
statistical magic on the current test results to get test batch-to-batch
consistency. Question weighting? Test normalizing? It's a distinction
without a difference. By the way, there are also some new questions on
each test that are being tried out but which are not counted. You won't
know which ones, though.

Not even close and differnet weights are applied to different questions for
each writing. So some may be more important, therefore graded higher, than
other.

Subject: Exam Division

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an equal division of questions on all of the
10 domains on the actual exam. Is there about 25 questions a section?

Thx,

Leon
