About this Sample Test

None of these questions are on the SuiteFoundation Exam. Most of these questions were written by the
same authors who wrote the actual exams. We have tried to write them to a similar level of difficulty as
the actual exam questions, but do not guarantee this.

This sample test is provided to give you an idea of the format of questions that might be asked on the
exam. However, the sample test does not provide comprehensive coverage of all topics on the test. All
material listed in the SuiteFoundation Study Guide may be tested.

Being able to answer all the below questions correctly does not guarantee that you will pass the
SuiteFoundation exam. We do not publish our passing score.

The number of sample questions per test objective does not reflect the actual weighting of the exam.
Any objective may have more, or fewer, questions than are presented here. All objectives have at least
one sample question included here.

August 2016 Corrections: Questions 6 and 26 were updated to show the correct answers.
