Jason Fraioli piffled away vaguely:

I passed this exam the other day on my 4th attempt. While I'll agree with
you that this exam is garbage, I will offer you this bit of help.

Don't study the concepts they expect you to prepare for. Instead, study the
answers to the questions you didn't understand or were unsure of.

The exam is 95% hands on, real world experience related. For those of us
that don't use M$ software for everything, the experience is harder to come
by. So I suggest you study answers to questions, not concepts. You've been
through the exam enough times to know what to expect, use that to your
benefit.

Jason, this is exactly the wrong advice to give someone in this arena.
Studying practice exams is so not the way to understand networking.
Better advice is to setup a lab and work the scenarios you don't
understand. You will learn so much more because things will not go
right the first time and you will be stretched to learn.

Practice tests are the last and shortest part of preparing for a cert
exam. That's when you study the answers you got wrong but you study
them in the lab you created.
