RE: They added simulations to the exam 70-290



I totally agree, I failed it a few times and was very frustrated that many
questions seemed to be on subjects not covered in any of the course material.
The good thing is you get more respect when exams are this hard and you have
passed.

The sims are what I have been saying they should do for ages. Testing you on
your skill on a computer instead of testing your skill at learning books etc.
