As the old saying goes, "What do you call a person who graduates last in
medical school? A doctor..." People score and take tests differently.
That is just life. Do not beat yourself up or second guess yourself
because of your last score. You passed! Do not let your scores dictate
what kind of technician you are. 75% of the time we all use Google
anyway! Microsoft exams are designed to be a little tough. To be honest,
all my practice exams always seemed to be harder than the actual exams
were. I am wondering now if I ever passed a practice exam! I have used
MeasureUP, Transcender, MS Readiness, etc. The two things that work for
me when studying of a Microsoft exam is 1.) TechNet and whitepapers on
the Internet 2.) MS Press books. One of the things you have to learn if
you continue to test out on Microsoft exams is this: Do not answer the
question your way. Answer the Microsoft way. Know that there is more
than one way to access any feature in Windows. 9 out of 10 times it is
thru the Control Panel. You may say well I do it like this. And with
that, the test may mark you incorrect. Another piece of advice is not to
over think... Read what they are asking you and answer it with the "best
possible solution". Using those to skills (and of course the product you
are testing out on) have allowed me to sit and pass numerous exams. Post
back and let us know how you did.
