My name is Mimi. I just passed Net Essentials (barely) on October 23.  The test is still 90 min long. Doesn't matter, I forced myself to go as slow as my nerves would let me and I finished in less than 30 min. The amount of time is not important. Contributions to this brain dump are what we need to concentrate on. We have many new questions, and some have been paraphrased into simpler terminology - this it can trip you up.

I was so nervous I couldn't figure out how to remember any of the questions. But 1 in particular that I had seen before and should not have ignored.

Question:

You have a Dec Alpha system running Windows NT. The NT has 2 partitions, one is Active. What is the best security for protecting the data.

1. NTFS

2. NTFS with FAT

3. FAT with NTFS

4. All FAT.

I won't venture a guess, except that JD (a previous braind dump) guessed it to be #1.

I am sorry I can't remember more.

Because there is so much time to take the test, I believe that writing the possible answers to a question and justifying each (why or why not), will help you get thru the test and will help remember more of the questions for this brain dump.

Best of luck.
