How do you Rate Prcatice Test Exam With MS-Press 290 Book

High Every-1

I am studying for the 290 MCP, I have MS-Press 290 book, my question is how
do you's rate the prcatice test exam on the companion CD, from Measureup,
because the book is published in 2003, is the practice exam dated now.
Thanks for your help.

 

to bo honest your better of getting the papers from testking
se if any of your mates have them or you can buy them online
thats the way i passed but also read the book couple of time.

 

The real question is: How could you not "pass" if you got the answers before
taking the test?


A second question would be: Are you, better as a system administrator, after
feeding on someone else's work, than digesting the information and studying
all the topics instead of just what it takes to pass the exam?

Goal oriented...at any cost? Oh...Kay, seems only fair? Might as well give
up on tests for steroids in athletes too.

 

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOu slimy little [email protected]$#^@&! That's Cheating!!! VISCO! Stay away from
them if you want to have a cert that's worth a tinkers damn

 

a.s.s.f.u.c.k.e.r.

 

The "included" exam is a decent way to track your progress, but as you
realize...it is behind the curve. Within the Help section of the test, it
should list a URL that will direct you to errata and/or update page.
However, you need to realize the object of including the exam is not as
substitute for the full flavor version you purchase from Measure Up, it's
meant as a intro to their product line. Some people have successfully passed
the exam using the included exam, but have also used TechNet, whitepapers,
KB articles..etc to fill-in, augment and update things not covered in that
version.

Measure up, Transcended are arguably the most respected, legitimate exam
simulations, they have been in the business for quite a while and stay with
in the bounds of NDA. There are others that are no more than BrainDumps,
garnering information from actual, current exams to give the user unfair
advantage by offering predigested info on possible test subject matter. If
that is your goal I just hope you have someone at your next job that can
provide a similar service. The idea is to assimilate knowledge not memorize
it.

Nice One Zenner

Cheers for the advice, I am going through the mentioned web sites and find
them very good for getting further information on modules that are not
covered in various books, I am hungry to learn, and if I dont get the exam
this time, i will try again, there are more people out there that know the
MS product upside down and to coin MS phrase Inside Out, and dont have
certs. Its just a staus thing mainly for comanies to say, look how many
microsoft certified people we have on board, and for support companies to
advertise what they have to offer, well thats my 2c worth.

Hmmm... I could prolly free up the first week of October to read it...

 

I will be prepared to formally accept MCNGP status tomorrow, at which point
I will render a speech which will take several hours for JaR to read, not
because of it's length, but because JaR is dylsexic and the letters will
jumble.

I don't know exactly how to take the last comment...re: It's just a status
thing. Yes, it is a status thing, ...whether or not we are talking about
"just a status thing"...that's kind of up for debate.

Many companies over specify job requirements; ask for MCSE when what they
really need an MCP or MCSA Due to the current climate, they can ask for and
get exceedingly over qualified people to staff rather menial positions,
personally I don't think they are doing the candidate, the users or
themselves a favor. You can use a race horse to pull a wagon...but he ain't
gonna be happy.

I think a lot of the cheating, besides the cheater being of Low character,
is a response to the elevated requirements that have no basis in apparent
need for that level of skill. If a person sees a discrepancy between his (or
Her) daily duties and the hurdle they have to jump to get the job...it's
almost a neon sign that says...do whatever it takes to get the job, you
won't need to know most of the stuff anyway. that dilutes the respect for
the certification.

I know many companies that require MCSE/MCSA on staff to qualify for
discounts plans or to be listed on recommended lists of service providers,
vendors or sellers of products, services. The Mfg. wants to be sure that
their agent, the face the customer sees, is capable of not only selling a
solution, but can also install, administer, manage and trouble shoot the
product. It doesn't take much for a product to earn a bad reputation...an
unskilled installation leaves a bad taste in a customers mouth, then he
doesn't just blame the installer, his impression is that the product is bad.

So yes I agree there is a degree of credential creep, but to make the leap
to labeling achieving certification, especially advanced certifications, as
"just" a status thing!...is not recognizing there is a real need for
certification especially if its earned the old fashion way, by actually
knowing the product.

One other point in closing. No one will respect your credential, unless you
do first!
