SAP - CERTIFICATION EXAM

Now, SAP have changed their question paper for the certification exams. They have eliminated pro-rata marks and negative marks for wrong answers. But now they gave the clue that how many sentences are true or false in a question. So, the student can able to pick the true or false statements according to the question.

The pass mark to get the certification is 66% here in India. But in Dubai it is 55%. I don't know why the variance is like that. There is no proper model test paper or mock test available online. SAP deliberately made it so complex. They don't want many people coming into sap or they want only highly knowledgeable people to come in SAP.
