Couple of OS exam questions

Hi folks

I'm due to take the OS exam on 15 June. I was wondering if anyone who has taken the exam recently could answer the following questions, please?

1) Did you get many questions on the test concerning short cut keys i.e. CTRL + ESC will bring up the 'start' menu?

2) From recent posts I've seen on here and other boards it appears that there'll be a few hardware questions thrown in for good measure. Can anyone give me an idea what areas came up on their exams so I can have a refresher session before my exam ticks round?

I'm feeling pretty nervous already so any other tips would be gratefully received!

Thanks

Anyone who has taken the exam cannot disclose the type of questions. However, since each exam is unique there really isn't anyway to know what will be on your exam.

Best thing is to review the objectives for the section which you will be taking and prepare from this. If it's on the objectives...it's fair game

like plantwiz said just cover the objectives, you'll be fine, good luck!!!

See, this is why I wanna make a study guide that is ordered out based on the objectives. Hopefully it'll catch on and some of these companies that make study guides will follow my example. Maybe not. Good luck on the test.

sounds like a good idea wwpranma, if you complete a rough version and would like it looking over feel free to e-mail me

Well, I'm gonna wait to start on it til after the exam. Cause either way, if I fail or pass, I'm still planning on doing this method to help others, but at the same time, I don't want to start anything new til after I get this exam out of the way. I guess a good way of looking at it is that if I have to restudy, I can just go over the objectives, make my notes in an organized fashion and if I'm missing anything or putting out false info, I'm sure you guys will be there to correct / help me. I'm getting my friend nick to help out with the articles on it as well. I'm gonna post them on my site starting in 2007. But as they come along being developed I'll post links to the rough drafts as they come along.
