I had never taken the test per se, but I had taken the classes that lead up to it (the first of the 2 which was required for my comp networkign major)... I did see practice tests and the like before the end of the second class, though this was the older version. Two observations:
- Expect (unless something has been changed) that there will be questions about older comps. Some of the stuff I was aware of, as I was around 10 years old or there abouts, when PCs started comming to market, but you might need to go back and look at some of the older material... Do expect that there could be some questions about CGA graphics cards and the like...
- mlakrid commented about knowing how they ask the questions... Know the answer they're looking for, even if it isn't the correct answer (at least anymore)...
We got questions on the practice test like common speed for a front side bus, they wanted 66 MHz. Course I took this in 2000, and by then AMD was using PC100 and PC133 with the Athlons, and the Pentium II 400 and latter (use 100 MHz fsb) had been released about 1.5-2 years prior to my taking the practice tests, along with the Pentium IIIs... BTW, 100 MHz fsb was on the list, but they considered the answer wrong.
My suggestion, take some practice tests, and if need be figure out how to "BS your way" in answering some of them, to provide what they expect. Many of my class mates and I (most of whom were in other majors such as computer networking, engineering students, and the like) coudln't believe some of the questions and expected answers we were seeing. Know what they want, and provide it... Some practice tests would be good for this, especially where you can get feedback to see what they want...
