Hi Neeraj Sir, In the 2nd Example, the questions is asking for the valid boundary values for 3point analysis.. so the answer should 18,19,29,30. But i dont see this value in the options provided.. The answer shown on the video is 17,18,19,29,30,31.. assuming this answer has all boundary values not the valid boundary values as asked on the question... Pls clarify on this...

[@ramadheer]

Great tutorials,Thank you very much Neeraj !! During Test is there any negative marking for wrong answers, and during online proctored exam, can we go back and check on the previous answers, can we see the score during the exam (how many Questions have correct answers)

[@TMSQUARETECH]

Hi Ramaa, 1. There is no negative marking so, you don't lose any mark for going wrong for any question. 2. During the exam you will have access to all questions to revisit and update or check if you have answered them all. 3. You can only see your score at the time you submit your exam. Later, you will receive another email from the board with the scorecard as well. All the best!!

[@jyotisrivastava550]

What if there are more than one valid partitions? What will be the 3 point value for the next partition? Boundary value of first partition will be covered in next partition as LB-1.

[@mikuronightray5902]

I have a question. The examples I see on the web always get the boundary values on the valid partition point of view. Like on your example for age between 18 to 30 years: 17, 18, 19, 29, 30, 31. Does BVA also apply on the invalid partition point of view? So for the example of age, should we also get 0, 1? 0 being AT the boundary and 1 being BEFORE the boundary of the invalid partition?

[@TMSQUARETECH]

Yes that's correct

[@maggeo8]

Thanks a lot to Niraj for all your notes and guidance. I just passed the exam just with your notes and official example questions. Thanks a lot !!

[@Lord.Dakshinamurthy]

So when do you choose 2 point or 3 point analysis if it is not mentioned explicitly in the question ... And both 2 point and 3 point answers are given in the choices.. :/ Which one do you pick?

[@TMSQUARETECH]

Alright, you see this is dummy example created for explanation purpose only. But in the exam they will mention it which one you have to use. In case it is not mentioned then we just opt for 2PA.

hello! thank you for preparing such a useful video. I need your help. please could you explain the following question? What are the values that you will test the x>10 code sequentially? 1) 10, 11, -1, "text", 0 2) 10, 11, 9, -1, "text" 3) 10, 11, 9, "text", 0 4) 10, 11, -1, "text", 9 5) 9, 10, 11, "text", 0 6) 9, 10, -1, "text", 0 Is the answer 5) or not? why? And what do "text" and," 0" mean here?

Not correct question with appropriate details to answer. Moreover, FYI this technique is called LCSAJ which not in our syllabus. I recommend stop using the source which is not aligned with the syllabus. Happy learning!!
