Test format, time for, number of questions, etc, help req
 

Hi, where on microsofts site can the technical details of a test be
found? Below is what I copied/pasted from a cert site out there but
some of the info is also outdated. (ie- the release date on 216 via MS
is x/x/2002.) Anyway, I've got the MCSE homepage, the indiv test
outline pages, but the format, pass score, question count, and time
limit isn't included there. Figuring this info has to be somewhere
official, where can it be found? -thnx

No reply? This thread has the stink of *dumba$$* all over it. hehe.
But, I wanted to know and found out (which all you other folks must
have already known) was that MS doesn't tell 'u' what the format for a
test will be, how many questions, any of this. Any info found on cert
sites is simply reported back by candidates and below is the reply I
got from mcphelp-



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are glad to assist you. Microsoft Certified Professional exams are
administered in three general formats: Short Standard, Standard, and
Adaptive Exams. You may receive any of these formats at any time for
any exam.

Short Standard exams contain 20 to 30 questions and last approximately
one hour.

Standard exams contain between 50 and 70 questions and last
approximately 90 minutes.

Adaptive exams contain 15 to 30 questions and vary in time allowed.

Candidates are expected to understand the exam content, regardless of
how it is presented. Therefore, Microsoft changes the exam format and
questions from time to time. In addition, Microsoft does not identify
the format of any given exam at the time of registration. Both
practices help protect exam security and the value of Microsoft
certification. To prepare for the exam, candidates should use the exam
objectives listed in the exam preparation guide.

Also, MCP exams often contain new testing technologies. Please visit
the below URL to learn about these technologies and be prepared to test
with them.

you for contacting Microsoft.

The answers to the questions MS will or won't answer with reference to their
test can be inferred without them.
