But whenever you deal with studying GUIs keep a few things in mind: Any sim like question won't be that hard, just like the SIMs in an MS exam the fact that it is a GUI means it is built to be intuitive, you don't need to memorise each and every button or config menu. Think of what they could realistically ask you, again it's not likely to be GUI specifics but functions, know what protocols they use to communicate, if there are any specific/serious limits on what you can do in the GUI Vs. CLI understand those too. With that in mind a quick skim for a few pertinent details won't be a waste.
