    anyway as mentioned its a It certification... kinda entry level, its really pretty easy if you've had experience with all the parts on the test.

    they test you about DOS, win 9x, Me, NT/2000 and xp....problem is I never did much in DOS except for like install doom and wolfenstein or corridor 7 (i as like 9yrs old). Iv'e never touched NT and Barely used 2000.
    What do you need to know dos for? They'd better ask about Bash , now bashing MS is something i'm very good at .
    But well I think I'h have the same problems as you, just not experienced enough with the environments they test.

    Yeah the hardware part was easy. It's the OS part which starts getting picky. Ah, well, don't give up!

    thanks, I know i'll get it, i'm just bummed out for the day

    I think what happened is I spent way too much time studying hardware thinking it was gonna be impossible, then I was tired of studying when I got to the OS.

    Some of the stuff they just throw in randomly is soooo stupid - "if theres an order for a 21" monitor but its on the top shelf what do you do?"

    Yeah, for that amount of money, the quality of the test leaves much to be desired. Also, it has the dangerous effect of making you think you know everything, when in fact, you are just scratching the surface.

    it's $153 US for each part...def not something I wanted to spend more than once, also when I went for the 1st one i thought that it included both tests.

    Well, what do you do?? This question is really stupid!
    lol I know, I think the options were

    You are a technician in a warehouse you have an order for a 21" monitor but its on the top shelf what do you do:

    a. ignore the order

    b. tell someone else to do it

    c. wait until you are reminded to do it later

    d. wait until you can get some help from someone else to get it down

    Edit obviously i put d.
