I do not say this lightly. I have been using the PrepLogic practice test
that comes with the ExamCram2 book for 70-270. Approximately every third
question is just simply wrong. Here are some examples.
One question asks about the second alarm that goes off when the power
levels in your laptop are too HIGH! This makes me think the question was
written by someone who is not a native english speaker.
One question asks which command line switches are not available when
using the WINNT.EXE command to install Windows XP. It claims that the /s:
is not available and the explanation points out that it is only available
for use with the WINNT32.EXE command.
Three questions later a similar question asks which switches are not
available with the WINNT32.EXE command. That question claims that the /s:
switch is not available and is only available with the WINNT.EXE command.
Simply running both of these commands with the /? switch quickly proves
that the /s: switch is available with both commands. As a matter of fact,
it is the ONLY switch that is available for use with BOTH commands.
Some questions still refer to Windows 2000 (and not in a historical
sense). And others are obviously cut and pasted from older tests.
There are far too many other examples to list here. Suffice it to say
that using these practice tests will actually be detrimental to your
studies. Even if you try to use them to help you find areas in which your
knowledge is weak it will be a waste of your time. They are so unreliable
that you will start to mistrust what you do know and waste time re-
researching those facts when you could have been studying something else.
P.S. I did look for updates to this test. It is over a year old and there
were no updates available. this tells me that they just simply don't
care. Of all the thousands of copies of this test that people have taken
you can't tell me that no one has complained.
