1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:04,440
Lastly, how do we develop test‑taking skills?

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Well,

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,940
the short answer there is that you want a legitimate practice examine, and

4
00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:11,990
the best, in my opinion, is MeasureUp. Why? A few reasons.

5
00:00:11,990 --> 00:00:16,700
One, MeasureUp has long been Microsoft's only official authorized

6
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:20,510
practice test provider. Number two, MeasureUp, because of that

7
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:24,440
partnership, is required contractually to produce the exams,

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,810
the exam simulations, as close as possible to day and date with

9
00:00:28,810 --> 00:00:31,220
the corresponding live exams as possible.

10
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:35,820
So this means you'll see AZ‑800 and AZ‑801 practice exams at

11
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:38,620
MeasureUp perhaps before other vendors.

12
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:41,830
Perhaps not because some vendors like Whizlabs move really,

13
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:43,830
really quickly. But MeasureUp also,

14
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:48,320
this is another mark in their favor, has really good quality control.

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,970
You will very likely not see misspellings, sloppy images, and sloppy

16
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:57,640
formatting or mistakes in the MeasureUp practice exams.

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,480
And then lastly,

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,010
the MeasureUp practice exams include the different interactive item

19
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:04,400
types that we went over in the previous module.

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,730
You can see on this screenshot this is an example of an active

21
00:01:07,730 --> 00:01:11,090
screen item type. See, so this is going to give you a great

22
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:15,520
benchmark of your predicted success on the live exam because you're

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,500
not only gaining experience in understanding and responding to

24
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,290
computer‑based test questions,

25
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:23,750
but you're also getting valuable experience working

26
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,300
through these interactive item types.

27
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:25,910
Lastly,

28
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:29,670
MeasureUp has good explanations. And the reason I'm able to speak in such

29
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:33,330
depth about MeasureUp is that for a number of years I worked for them as a

30
00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:37,860
contractor writing many of their practice exams, so I know their procedures

31
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:41,210
quite well, and I know that what you need to do if you're going to be a

32
00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:45,680
MeasureUp author is fully explain why the correct answer is correct and why

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,850
the incorrect choices are incorrect, and then you need to provide references

34
00:01:49,850 --> 00:01:54,850
for both the correct and incorrect choices that come from the Microsoft Docs.

35
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:58,290
So for all these reasons, although MeasureUp is not inexpensive,

36
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:01,700
it is an investment, I would strongly consider you taking a

37
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:08,000
close look at them and incorporating their products in your Windows Server Hybrid Administrator study.
