Studying for Exam / Pratice Tests

---

So I tried to take a practice test for the 70-486 the bank one questions were asking questions that will be covered in 70-487. So of course I aborted the practice test and just going to schedule the exam and hone in on the exam objectives on the official Microsoft page. but this prompted me to think Maybe instead of taking the video training for 70-486 to take the training at the same time for 70-487 and then take the exams. For certifications with like 2 parts would this be the best strategy?

For exams with 3+ exams for the cert this obviously would not be feasible.

@William-Gary,

Whenever preparing for a certification exam like the MCSA and MCSE, the recommendation is to complete the training for all courses before starting your focus on a particular exam. This is because the "skills measured" always include some statement that says the candidate may be tested on but not limited to the following. It is the vendor's way of saying that the certification is not about passing the test but about hand-on experience and learning with the product.

So practice exams are geared toward scenarios as if you've got a good grasp on the entire MCSA on Whatever speciality and not just the focus on that one exam. This why you will always see questions that you may not understand, according to the vendor, if you knew the product...you would have been familiar with it.

That makes sense
