A relevant example is the process of converting pounds to kilograms. The weight of the object has not changed, only the units being reported.  \nTableau certification exam results are reported as a score from 100 to 1000. The score shows how the candidate performed on the examination as a whole and the pass or fail designation. Scaled scoring models are used to equate scores across multiple exam forms that may have slightly different difficulty levels.  \nScore reports are sent when a candidate fails the exam. This report contains a table of categories of performance at each section level. This information is designed to provide general feedback concerning examination performance. The examination uses a compensatory scoring model, which means candidates do not need to “pass” the individual sections, only the overall examination. Each section of the examination has a specific weighting, some sections have more questions than others. The scoring table contains general information, highlighting strengths and weaknesses. Section level feedback should be interpreted with candidate caution and paired with other available forms of remediation before retaking the exam.","cbCaifbdh6MeBnDy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifbdh6MeBnDy","pdf",297457,12,"English","# Exam Overview\n## Awarded Credentials and Target Audience\n## Exam Guide Disclosure and Learning Resources\n# Exam Format and Scoring\n## Time Limit, Questions, and Delivery Provider\n## System Preparation for Online-Proctored Exams\n## Scaled Scoring and Unscored Content\n# Additional Exam Details and Content Outline\n## Access Restrictions During the Exam\n## Comments and Timeliness\n## Content Outline and Domain Objectives","[{\"question\":\"Who is the target audience for the Tableau Desktop Specialist exam?\",\"answer\":\"The exam is for candidates with foundational skills in Tableau Desktop and at least three months of applying that understanding in the product.\"},{\"question\":\"How long is the exam and what is the question format?\",\"answer\":\"The exam has a 60-minute time limit, uses multiple choice and multiple response questions, and contains 45 questions (40 scored and 5 unscored).\"},{\"question\":\"What passing score and scoring method are used?\",\"answer\":\"The passing scaled score for the Desktop Specialist exam is 750.
