This thread has gone a direction that I didn't intend.
Sorry about the way in which I wrote my initial postings.
The criticism was far to general and should have been more
narrowly focused.
I want to be clear that even though I am complaining about
the simulation exams in my earlier postings, I STILL think
Microsoft has THE BEST testing team of people and strategy
I have ever seen (and I have seen several others). I also
REALLY like the hands-on testing idea.
However, the implementation of the simulation interface is
flawed and needs to be fixed ASAP.
The questions aren't the problem, it is the fact that the
interface DOES NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO COMPLETE THE ACTIVITIES
THEY ARE REQUESTED PERFORM. I think candidates are missing
questions because they CANNOT complete tasks, even when
they know exactly how to perform the task. The necessary
buttons and interfaces are not working on the exam! I have
specific examples I would like to share with the testing
team.
