Took the Core test end of last month and passed! (775).
Took the OS test today and passed! (780) Yippppeeee!!! Used Mike Meyers All in One primarily. It's a good book. Also, for those of you preparing, read the online chapter "Essential Windows" at totalsem.com. The Core test was pretty much what I expected; the OS test... well, it almost blew me away (psychologically, that is). There must have been a half dozen "beta type" questions in the first fifteen questions and I was saying to myself... "Oh my, I am not doing well at all!". It smoothed out after a while and I actually went a couple of questions without "marking" them for review...  Read someone on here last week say that the OS test is more intuitive. He/she was exactly right. Makes you THINK... and my brain has been fried from studying! Well, I'm off to look up the answers to questions that puzzled me and to partake in a generous portion(s) of my favorite beverage! Steve A+ (hmmmmm, that looks good... Bring on Networks+ |

wow, estimate the percentage? hmmm... off hand, i would say that the test is pretty much divided equally between 9X and NT/2000, with some basic DOS and troubleshooting type knowledge thrown in. It's the details.. honestly, I felt I had to think through the questions, eliminating what wasn't the correct answer, leaving me with a couple of possibles. Then applying what I know with the choices left. You can't "memorize" the answers, like I felt I could do with the core test. For instance, one question actually asked what the advantages of Win 98 had over NT/2000? (Select two). A little reverse thinking was in order to work through that one. (i.e., identify the advantages of 2000 over 98 and pick what was left over I could braindump a couple ofmore, but this is the wrong place for that, right? If you know Win NT 4.0 you shouldn't have a problem with the 2000 questions... as long as you go over the study material for 2000. You'll do just fine blue On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 04:03:02 GMT, JesseTX <> wrote: >You're scaring me with the OS part, but not too much > >On the practice tests, I tend to do much worse on the OS tests. >Mainly becasue I have no hands-on experience with Windows 2000.
