Where the handbook contradicts itself
We list these instead of quietly picking one. If a number above is affected, confirm with the exam vendor before test day.
- Broker'84 correct' is stated next to a 120-point exam; 70% of 120 = 84 points, so 'correct' here means points, not item count (115 items).
