Need tip for 70-680 (calling exam takers)

Guys, concerning questions that have answers involving command-line syntax for:

DISM
IMAGEX
BCDEDIT
OSCDIMG
etc....

Does the multiple choices come like there are 2 answers that looks almost the same, but one of them has wrong syntax?

Example (WIM image has only 1 OS installed):

a. dism /mount-wim /Wim-file:d:\Imagedir\Win7alpha.wim /index:1 /mount-dir:c:\temp
b. dism /mount-wim /Wimfile:d:\Imagedir\Win7alpha.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\temp
c. imagex /mount d:\Imagedir\Win7alpha.wim 1 c:\temp
d. imagex /mount-wim d:\Imagedir\Win7alpha.wim 1 c:\temp

What I'd like to know is do I need to memorize all the parameter spellings?

I only read those parameters and their usage. I always take a cue on multiple answers whereby only one will make sense BUT NOT THE ABOVE SIMILARITIES.

You need to be able to recognize the entire correct syntax when you see it.

You very well could see a question nearly identical to what you posted.

Well I think the best way to memorize them is to simulate it virtually, repeatedly, daily until it feels good.

I really hate this freaking DISM syntax:

WRONG: dism /wimfile:windows7.wim /get-wiminfo

CORRECT: dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:windows7.wim

Its crazy that the order must be followed!!! Fruck!!!!!

I dont think thats such a big deal. Its sorta similar to powershell.

For instance you cant say

-name 'bob' get-quaduser

it cant read your mind that you wil be wanting to get the user BOB, so rather you ahve to tell it

get-qaduser -name 'bob'
