ProLiant Server Foundations Test Welcome Welcome to the ProLiant Server Foundations Test. Test. This test consists of 90 questions. To To receive a passing score score on this test, you must correctly correctly answer at least 7! of the questions. "f you do not achieve a passing score, you can use the score s core report that you receive at the end of the test to identify the sections that yielded lower scores. #ou should then review those sections in the training course $efore $efore reta%ing the test. #ou can reta%e reta%e the test an unlimited num$er of times. There is no time limit on the test, $ut you should allocate at least & minutes to ma%e sure you do not feel rushed. When you have answered answered all the questions on the test, clic% Submit to to have your test scored. Question 1 'of '90
