MS 70-113 Free Paper
Microsoft recently introduced performance based testing exam. I recently took the 70-113 exam & loved it. It is an innovative way of knowing how someone would perform in real scenarios as oppose to selecting an answer from MCQ (multiple choice questions) format. The exam was divided into two performance labs, which requires you to perform series of tasks on a virtual server environment. The tasks were selected from a range of different topics on Windows 2008 Server including Active Directory, GPO, FSMO roles, DNS, DHCP, Certificate Services and other general topics. At the end of the two labs there were 37 questions in old MCQ format. There was no scoring or result for the paper as it was a promotional paper, so there is no pass/fail criteria.
The first 3000 test takers will be given three free vouchers for other exams. Microsoft have extended the offer till December 17th for the free 70-113 Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring exam. 70-113 covers the same topics as 70-640.
To perform well on this exam you should grasp ins & outs of windows 2008 Server, especially Active Directory. I see that the “..first 3000 takers getting three free vouchers..” statement has made lots of people to go for the paper even without knowing anything about Active Directory and finishing the paper in quick time – just to get 3 free vouchers. In my opinion this offer should have a catch like first 3000 free exam takers with certain % score rather than just the first 3000 takers. That way MS could have got the true value out of this free exam.
