- Answers are held back until the end, the way the sitting holds them back, and each section is scored on its own rather than folded into one mark.

- Each section is scored on its own and every section mark has to be reached, which is how NSW Driver Knowledge Test is scored. The marks come from Transport for NSW and Service NSW.
