Good, but it seems that that is not always the case.

Probably, but I never have paid for them.

It wouldn't be if Microsoft were the one's offering them up and they were
questions that weren't going to be asked again. But that is not the case.

Not true, the questions as far as I have experienced aren't really devious
at all. Sometimes they are very complex and you have to know the subject
extremely well to answer them appropriately. That would be the point of the
test, to measure knowledge of the product.

No, you didn't. But, A$$FUSKRS don't usually make a point about which is
good and which is bad. They are just interested in passing the tests in the
easiest way possible. You do not seem to be one of them. I am sorry I didn't
notice that first. I'm kinda knew here.

Now what does that mean exactly?

Yes, that's why, and I have forgotten, did someone earlier say that or is
this something you have noticed by acquiring these products?

Oh, the most cost effective way to prepare yourself is really to build a
network as cheaply as possible and use material from your local library and
the mountain of documentation that comes with the the product in the help
and support center. Classes are good if you don't know a certain aspect of
the product. My downfall is still RRAS. I purchased a fifty dollar book that
I could use at work and to help study and build the test environment as
though I didn't have anything but windows machines and layer 2 switches.
Seems weird, but it is Microsoft's product and their test I'm taking so,
that's why I'm doing it.

Ask all the questions you want, but, you may not always like the answers.

I think the answer here is:
it's turles all the way down.
