Are some of the MCSE tests harder than others? If you can pass one can you normally pass another?

Thanks,
Harold

I have taken your advice and purchased hardback editions for 215, 216 and 270 from Half Price Books for $8.00 apiece!
I have come across a few questions that the material has not answered (although I certainly have not read all 3 of them yet); chapter 2 review in MCSE Guide to MS XP Pro by Ed Tittel.
16) Which of the following commands it used to record the original state of an XP Pro install?
A. SYSDIFF / APPLY
B. SYSDIFF / DIFF
C. SYSDIFF / INF
D. SYSDIFF / SNAP

I guessed D.

17) Running __________ creates a text record of a Sysdiff difference file.

I guessed SYSDIFF / DIFF, because is was an option in question 16 that seemed to fit. I could find no supporting documentation online or in this book; I asked many of the sys admins at my company; they looked at me like I had 3 heads; they have never used or heard of sysdiff.exe outside of an NT 4.0 (Workstation) install.

20) At what point in the installation do you have the option of converting the file system to NTFS?

A. After selecting the installation partition
B. After the EULA has been agreed on
C. At eh end of the GUI-mode portion of the install
D. You must convert the partition after setup has completed

I chose A and B, but the question does not indicate if there is more than one right answer; is this typical of a MS test? If so, then I will be second guessing myself out of a passing score.

Thanks in advance!
Tim

I think it depends. If you are taking a boot camp, you've got extra help. I take one class at a time, then study until I'm ready for it. So far, 216 has been the hardest. Check out my faq...

Good luck to all.

16-D
17-C
20-A (although you can do D with the convert utility, it is not "must" that you wait that long)

What is sort of amusing is that SYSDIFF is not included in XP, and not available for XP.
