Simulation questions

I just barely failed 70-292, and the post mortem indicated that I did the
worst in Managing Name Resolution, an area I know well given that it's been
one of my main responsibilities for the last 6 years. There were a number of
simulations in that section, and I'm wondering if that's where I went wrong.

How precise do you have to be to be marked correct on simulations? On one
of them I remember pressing OK when I was done, but got no feedback from the
interface that I had done anything, so I assumed that it did nothing and did
not do it again. Was that a costly mistake? How picky are these simulations?

Thanks.

Who knows? Just MS.

Join the club! I failed this exam twice. One thing I found confusing were
Microsoft's 'new features' of DNS like Stub Zones, Delegated Zones and
Conditional Forwarding. None of my study materials explained these features
very well.

Good place to start.

When you had your final screen before ending exam, was any item marked
as Incomplete? In my case I couldn't complete one item. I tried all
possible ways, the item remained as Incomplete. I took the exam twice
and the program crushed on me twice. I have tickets opened with
Microsoft and Prometric - no help. They blame on each other. I am
frustrated. There is not justice. 70-292 is full of bugs. This is not
a test, this is a lottery.
