At the face of it, the exam might look easy since you need to get just 49 out of 70 questions right, and there is no negative marking.
But it really gets tricky when there are questions with multiple choice options. For example, you might encounter questions where
you would be expected to select three correct answers for one question. In such cases, there is no partial marking so one wrong
answer option will spoil the other two options that might be correct.
