I've always wondered exactly how the simulations are scored on the MS exams, and I haven't had any yet (only MS exam so far was 70-270). I'm sitting the 70-290 in a couple days and just want to be prepared.
I have been doing the TestOut training material for all of my certs so far and they all have had extensive simulations. It seems like the simulations in the TestOut material score you based on whether what you have done would result in the correct configuration rather than what path you took to get there. This includes the ability to "make mistakes" like going into the wrong part of the administrative tools, seeing that you're not where you want to be, then going into the correct area. Are the actual simulations similarly forgiving, i.e., as long as the final result is correct is the question considered correct?
One other thing, has anyone else used the TestOut materials for 70-290? Like I mentioned, I have used them for the the 70-270 and the CompTIA A+, Net+, Server+, and Security+ tests and found them very helpful. But I am really not liking the 70-290 material. It seems like the presenter doesn't know the material very well, and he frequently mis-speaks and then corrects himself. I have also found a couple of instances where there were questions in the chapter review tests about commands not mentioned in the chapter material. Anyone else have any thoughts?
