MasterExam

MasterExam provides you with a simulation of the actual exams. The number of ques-
tions, the type of questions, and the time allowed are intended to be an accurate representation of the exam environment. You have the option to take an open-book exam, including hints, references, and answers, a closed-book exam, or the timed MasterExam simulation.

When you launch MasterExam, a digital clock display will appear in the bottom
right-hand corner of your screen. The clock will continue to count down to zero unless you choose to end the exam before the time expires.


Video Training Clips

MP4 video clips provide detailed examples of key certification objectives in audio/video format direct from the author of the book. These clips walk you step-by-step through various system administration tasks. You can access the clips directly from the Video table of contents by clicking the Videos link on the main launch page.


PDF Copy of the Book

The entire contents of the Exam Guide are provided in PDF. Adobe’s Acrobat Reader has been included on the CD.

Help

A help file is provided through the help button on the main page in the lower left-hand corner. An individual help feature is also available through MasterExam.
