Closer to Certification Tests
Well, I've finally finished my huge, and largely annoying, "MCSA/MCSE Self-Paced
Training Kit (Exams 70-292 and 70-296): Upgrading Your Certification to
Microsoft Windows Server 2003" book. I've posted multiple times on my dislike
for it so I won't go into it again. I'm just hoping that it gave me some good
info that I can possibly recall during an exam. I believe it presented all the
pertinent data, it just was very light on the review questions and even lighter
on answer explanations. In other words, I need some reinforcement to bring up
my confidence before I pay money to take a test. For this I'm falling back on
the Exam Cram 2 series, which I had used as review material in the past. The
nice thing about these books is there are about 10 questions at the end of each
chapter with an answer key that gives the right answer along with an
explanation on why the answer is correct. Additionally, it explains
why the other answers are wrong. And the two 50 question practice exams in the
back are very useful for figuring out what your weaknesses are.
Hopefully I'll be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel soon as get these
exams out of my way. I'll only take them when I feel I'm ready and not a day
sooner. No sense in giving my money to Microsoft for nothing.
