Hello all.

Here's an address to visit for a little info on the new
interactive testing for Microsoft exams:

Good luck to all. I'll be taking 70-290 in a couple of
weeks. And I'm sure ther's no practice exams available
that resemble this new format. So I guess I'm going to
be one of the guinne pigs. Wish me luck

Way cool. This is actually easier than multiple choice (assuming you
know how to solve the problem) because you don't have to 'visualize'
the sequence of events as described by the different options of a multiple
choice question. You answer the question in the same way you learned
how to perform the task - by going to a desktop and doing it.

It's an associative learning thing. It has been demonstrated that you can
recall answers better if you are in the same environment as when you
learned the material.

This explains why I had such a hard time in botany class in college. They
didn't serve pizza and beer or have Led Zeppelin blaring at 100 decibels
in the class room - what did they expect?
