Hi,
I am preparing for Exam 70-536 primarily using the MS Self Paced Book, and I have two questions in this regard.
1. In the practice test provided along with the MS Self Paced Book, there are some questions that provide a two lists. We need to move items from second list to the first list and arrange them in the correct order.
For those of you who have taken the actual exam:
Do these questions come on the actual exam?.
I am especially concerned about such questions that have descriptions of code i.e. instead of looking at code, they have text explanations of it. I find these sentences or sentence fragments ambiguous at times – and this is
by far the question that I mostly get wrong (because both the set of items and the correct order is necessary to get it correct.)
I'd be grateful if someone can remember if such text explanation of code questions in the two list format came in their exam. If possible please let me know how many you saw.
I would like to mention that I generally don’t have problem with such questions if they are non-code related. For example one question from the practice tests I recall that asked you to chose and arrange the order in which
security policies are applied (Enterprise, Machine, User, App Domain). I am fine with these.
2. I have been reading blogs/forums of other people's preparation for this exam. They frequently make statements similar to the following:
“ I was passing the measureup certification mode pre tests with 90%.” OR
“I was also registered for Measure Up practice exams and passed those set of exams consistently with 90%.”
In the statements above, I understand these guys are mentioning the score that they got on Practice Tests provided by certain vendors. I would like to know if it is their first attempt on the Practice Test that they got this score,
or is it subsequent attempts.
Your first attempt is usually your worst score. From what I hear, you usually use the results of your first test to identify the areas that you are weak in and study. I also usually go through my correct answers and make sure I
understand the purpose of each of the other alternatives even if they are wrong.
My question here is that when you take the test again or probably after your 10<sup>th</sup> attempt – I am sure you would get each and every question correct. Each of these sources that offer practice tests have a limited
number of questions that they can choose from.
So, to reiterate, I am hoping someone who has done a lot of these certifications can comment on whether the above statements mean these people got the 90% score in their first attempts or in subsequent attempts.
Thanks a lot for your help.
O.O.
