Thought I'd pass this set of info along from my mentor at WGU - his students have had a lot of success with these items + some type of textbook/self test series. I found the last section on test taking strategies particularly interesting. Do you think that Microsoft's adaptive testing functions that way? Anyone have feedback/experience?

Kaplan SelfTest Software for Windows 7 (ABV1):
70-680 Microsoft TS: Windows 7, Configuring from selftestsoftware.comAs for test-taking strategies, the following advice may be applicable to you:
1) Please indicate that you have only “
1-2 years” when asked about your IT experiences. Please remember that “
0 – 6 months” or “
6 months to 1 year” indicates that you are novice while “
3 – 4 years” or “
5 year Plus” indicates that you are already an expert. Staying in the middle normally helps you get med-level questions that are neither too difficult nor too easy questions. That may probably help you pass the exam much easier;
2) When asked about the specific skills associated with each topic, it may be advisable for you to pick “
Moderate” or “
I am proficient—I can do things on my own without help from others”. Picking “
No experience” or “
Low” only indicates that you are a novice while “Expert” or “
High” level indicates that you are an expert. Staying in the middle is normally a better choice if you don’t to get extreme questions;
3) Please
do NOT “Mark” any questions for reviews—if you mark questions for reviews, you may end up getting more and more questions in those areas if you happen to pick the wrong choices for those questions;
4) Please pay attention to time management—you may skip some questions and come back to work on them later if you have to. However, you should not skip the questions if they are embedded in “
Testlets” as you will
NOT be allowed to come back and review those questions.
