The test contains 35 multiple choice questions. There are between 1 and 4 correct answers per multiple choice question. There are no trick questions that have zero correct answers.

The part about true/false was just to make an analogy. There are no true/false questions.

(The analogy was that since each multiple choice question can have up to four correct answers, each possibility on the multiple choice question is true/false: each potential answer is either true or false. Don't however, get sidetracked by the analogy.)
