Does the Boson CCENT practice exam questions include any of the simulations?

Thanks

    It does. I don't remember exactly how many off the top of my head, but it has quite a few sims in the 2 exams

    It has almost all except where you are supposed to configure (Router Sim?) and Fill in the blanks.

    MC-SA, MC-MA, Testlet, Drag and Drop and Simlet. So yes, if you want a real exam environment Boson is good.

    Rehashing an older post of mine..

    When would you say is the best time to start using the Boson exams? My fear with practice exams is just memorizing answers and not actually learning the content. Is that a legit concern with this product?

    I typically do the Boson practice exams the same week I am scheduled to take the real exam. No, personally I would not worry about memorising the answers. I predominantly use the Boson product in 'study mode'. This way I can see where I went wrong (I then typically amend/update my notes and do a quick lab to make sure I understand the concept in question).

    I wait until I think I'm ready for the real thing. Then, I use the results to figure out what I need to study some more.

    I used Boson practice test and sim for my CCENT and currently for my CCNA. I personally used the test ( I think you get three unique versions in the EX-Max variant) to check my progress at my self-imposed "milestones", i.e. after I finished the OCG, after I finished the video lessons (Bryant in my case), and after I finished practice labs; it provided a way to spread the test out and gave me an opportunity to brush up on my weak areas before the real thing.

    I'd say wait until you have studied all the material (I watched a video series and read ocg books) and feel like you are ready for the real thing, then start with Boson. That was my approach. Boson really helped me improve my weak areas.

    Also, don't just take the tests over and over again and memorize it. For every question, really think about why a specific answer is the correct answer and why is not. Don't just answer it because you saw it before. Good luck!!

    Are the Boson practice exams a good representation of what you might see on the real exam?

    I personally thought Boson was a little harder than the real exam. I think it's because some questions on Boson can get really detailed - which is a good thing. Overprepare > failing.

    That is good to know. Sounds like I will have a better experience that I had with Microsoft practice test.
