Simulation or lab resources for 70--680

sendalot

Do you recommend or know of any simulation materials for 70-680? (I expect MCTS exam will have simulation or performance-based questions).

Preferably not Virtual PC or web-based (practice-it for example). I find them very slow.

Boson seems to be outsourcing its lab to practice-it.

The 70-680 does not have simulation type questions.

Most questions will be selecting one (or more) answers from a list. Microsoft is adding new technologies to its exam suite all the time. So in the future it may include simulations or performance based questons. Currently, the closest thing to a simulation is to click a part of a dialog box having links, tabs, radio buttons, pull-down lists, etc.

You'll often hear of people creating "labs" to prepare for Microsoft exams. This is most economically done in a virtual environment. In fact, I have trouble believing someone can pass these exams unless you have done several hours configuring servers and clients in your lab. Here's where you may find example labs for the 70-680. Textbooks to prepare for the 680, whether they be from Microsoft or independent authors, often include lab exercises included within each lesson.
