SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REMINDER
The remaining questions are associated with two cases.
Each case has an introductory, descriptive passage (case text) that describes background information and requirements for a specific cloud based design. And each case has a set of six related, randomized questions. You will need to read the case text in order to answer the related questions correctly.
Given that there are two cases with six scored questions each, the total number of case-based scored questions is 12.
When you display each questions you can easily review the related case text in a pop-up window by clicking on the ''Case'' icon (shown below)
