most of these questions are imprecise and unrealistic in the corporate world.

I've taken a couple of quizzes from this site and from what I think (no offence intended) these quizzes must only be created by senior experts who've very good hands on experience. This is just to avoid confusion in the minds of the people who are about to give their exams within a day or two. It can prove disastrous for them. What say? Apart from this proprofs is an excellent place to discuss difficulties relating to IT certifications. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Just took this test have to say some answers are strange to say the least. This has the look of a quiz that hasn`t been throughly inspected by the author or he is there to confuse the students, forget answers even some questions don`t make much sense, but hey it is free what can you expect. But here is my humble feedback. The anwers to the question about Disk Management are wrong. One about using Device Manager was wrong all of the abcde are possible. Local storage question`s answer was comical it is possible but in real world scenario it is the least likely option I would choose. One about testing the Ram was unrealistic at best you don`t have to go to Command Prompt when you can test the ram from GUI. Laptop for presentation question was also misleading. Thanks for putting this quiz here anyway.

Was going to spend the time writing all the oversights and bits of misinformation in this but it'd take longer than its worth. Wouldnt bother with this if your practicing for MCP, not technically accurate at best and at worse its just incorrect! kinda the blind leading the blind

Tough quiz. After reading the comments by thge others, OUCH!

My two cents... I'm not claiming to know everything or be an expert, but these are my thoughts about this exam... Thought Set A was much better. Question 7: I believe that Disk Management WILL tell you the status of a disk (eg if it is Healthy, Missing, Failed, etc...) Also, I didn't consider right-clicking and going to properties as part of Disk Management's native abilities... maybe I am just being picky. Question 8)As far as Mount Points, I would much rather either a) suggest to the user they purchase a larger hard drive, or b) suggest removable media. I know this may be a "Microsoft Answer" but has anyone experienced this in the field? Question 14: Multiple hostnames? XP does not give you this option inherently unless you are suggesting CNAME entries in DNS on a DNS server. Also, this is not "common" to do, in my experience.
