ISCW ATM - Do I just have an old practice exam?

in CCNP
I've gotten to the point (FINALLY) in my ISCW studies where I am trying to gauge where I need to focus my efforts by taking practice exams and then going back to study further the topics I'm not acing. To that end, I'm starting with the practice exam that came with my Cisco Press ISCW book. However, it seems like I'm getting hit with a lot of ATM questions and I have little to no experience with ATM. From everything I've studied or read, it sounded like I should only need to know some basics about ATM as regards DSL networks, but I'm getting questions such as asking what particular debug command to use on an ATM router to receive a certain output...is this realistic to need to know for the exam or is my practice exam a bit off?
I just want to know so I'll know if I need to hit ATM hard or just review the basics. Thank you!

I sat the exam last week, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 questions on DSL total. I did have a question very much like the one you describe... here's a chunk of config, now pick the command that generated it.
It was a small percentage of the exam, so while you should know the topic, don't go crazy like you should over VPN/MPLS/IOS Firewall.

Only so many printers I can be bothered with.
And people who can't RTFM.
Hence Cisco means I can get into pure networking, which should mean more 3rd line and less ID10T work
ha, i was joking mate.
Ive been there too. i enjoyed AD/exchange but found that you got bombarded with a ton of crap to go along with it - printers, unlocking accounts blah blah.Mind saying that now ive moved across into this field i only get about 10% of that same crap now

MS is fun - but only if you can get away from the crap. Which is VERY difficult.
I am MOST pleased to see that there is a way to get away from the crap, and I'm on that path.
Awesome.
You've made my day.
