    Yes, I noticed that after downloading the companion content, an 82 Megs zip file.

    But why is that? Can someone explain how come they're not included in the zip file?

    I've sent an email to mspinput but nobody answered so I don't really have a clue...

    My understandingis the tests are provided by MeasureUp and Microsoft do not have an agreement with them for selling the tests with EBook versions.  Seems a bit out of date with the way books are going.

    That's too bad, I was convinced to go digital / save a tree and then I find out the ebook version in missing stuff.

    I've visited the MeasureUp website and looked for those practice tests. It turns out I'll have to spend 49€ more for 80 questions while the book should have had 200 :(

     

    Thanks for the insight.

    Not the best, but the published book is at least 3 weeks away plus delivery.  Oreilly give a 40-50% discount on the printed book if you have the ebook.  Not sure when the exam started but if you pass in the first six months you get a 'Chartered' Certificate to reflect your early passing.  I think the exam was released in June so if you take the exam this month you get the 'Chartered' Certificate.  If you had waitedfor the printed book you would miss the opportunity.

    Maybe a small silver lining :-).

    Amendment:  Checked went live 2 July so December is last opportunity for Chartered Status.

     

    Good Luck,
