what is the format of this exam?

vincentnyc10

i took the 70-270 and it was all 50 multiple choice questions which i can go back to review if i want to.

what is the format for the 70-290? all multiple choice? or some simulations? and can you go back to review your answer and change it if you have enough time for exam?

Along with the multiple choice type questions, my 70-290 exam included most if not all of these types as well. And yes you can go back and forth through the exam (as well as review at the end).

[quote=Microsoft]• Hot area questions
This kind of question asks you to indicate the correct answer by selecting one or more elements within a graphic.

• Active screen questions
This kind of question asks you to configure a dialog box by changing one or more elements.

• Drag-and-drop questions
This kind of question asks you to drag source objects to appropriate targets within a work area.

• Build list and reorder questions
This kind of question asks you to indicate the correct answer by building an answer list. In a build list and reorder question, you need to build a list by dragging the appropriate source objects to the answer list and then placing them in the correct order based on criteria defined in the question.

• Create a tree questions
This kind of question asks you to create a tree structure. You indicate the correct answer by dragging source nodes to the correct locations in the answer tree. Nodes consist of text and a small icon.

• Simulation questions
This kind of question asks you to indicate the correct answer by performing specific tasks such as configuring and installing network adapters or drivers, configuring and controlling access to files, and managing hardware devices. Many of the tasks that systems administrators and systems engineers perform can be presented more accurately in simulations than in most traditional exam question types.[/quote]

Thanks 4 hours thats not bad

Yeah, it's more than enough time to do it twice over.

The 290 was my first MS exam and since I wasnt taking any chances I reviewed every question. I had done the test in a tick over 1 hour and a half, reviewed every question thoroughly and hit the finish after about 2 and a half hours.

So there's enough time.

Am i right about the 45 questions and 5 sims?

I'd say everyone's test is different. But yeah, the average would be 45 questions and 5 sims. Dont worry about the sims, the ones on the CCNA are much tougher where you got to go back and forth to get two routers/PC's talking one with another.

Sims on this exam as an example, are like, there's a folder called Share and you got to give Full control to the Sales group and Modify to the Finance group. As simple as that! (well they are if you know your stuff)

Thanks for the info

I had less than that. More than 3 hours for sure, though.
