What Is an Adaptive Exam?
To make the certification testing process more efficientand valid and therefore make the certification itselfmore valuable, some vendors in the industry are using a
testing technique called adaptive testing In an adaptive
exam, the exam “adapts” to your abilities by varying thedifficulty level of the questions presented to you
The first question in an adaptive exam is typically aneasy one If you answer it correctly, you are presentedwith a slightly more difficult question If you answerthat question correctly, the next question you see iseven more difficult If you answer the question incor-rectly, however, the exam “adapts” to your skill level bypresenting you with another question of equal or lesser
difficulty on the same subject If you answer that tion correctly, the test begins to increase the difficultylevel again You must correctly answer several questions
ques-at a predetermined difficulty level to pass the exam.After you have done this successfully, the exam is endedand scored If you do not reach the required level ofdifficulty within a predetermined time (typically 30minutes) the exam is ended and scored
Why Do Vendors Use Adaptive Exams?
Many vendors who offer technical certifications haveadopted the adaptive testing technique They havefound that it is an effective way to measure a candi-date’s mastery of the test material in as little time asnecessary This reduces the scheduling demands on thetest taker and allows the testing center to offer moretests per test station than they could with longer, moretraditional exams In addition, test security is greater,and this increases the validity of the exam process
Studying for Adaptive ExamsStudying for adaptive exams is no different from study-ing for traditional exams You should make sure thatyou have thoroughly covered all the material for each ofthe test objectives specified by the certification examvendor As with any other exam, when you take anadaptive exam, either you know the material or youdon’t If you are well prepared, you will be able to passthe exam ExamGear, Training Guide Edition allowsyou to familiarize yourself with the adaptive exam test-ing technique This will help eliminate any anxiety youmight experience from this testing technique and allowyou to focus on learning the actual exam material
Trang 4If your overall score is between 67% and 85%, it is
considered to be inconclusive Additional questions will
be asked until you pass or fail or until it becomes tically impossible to pass without asking more than themaximum number of questions allowed
statis-Question Types and How to Answer Them
Because certification exams from different vendors vary,you will face many types of questions on any givenexam ExamGear, Training Guide Edition presents youwith different question types to allow you to becomefamiliar with the various ways an actual exam may testyour knowledge The Solution Architectures exam, inparticular, offers a unique exam format and utilizesquestion types other than multiple choice This version
of ExamGear includes cases—extensive problemdescriptions running several pages in length, followed
by a number of questions specific to that case
Microsoft refers to these case/question collections as
testlets This version of ExamGear, Training Guide
Edition also includes regular questions that are notattached to a case study We include these questiontypes to make taking the actual exam easier because youwill already be familiar with the steps required toanswer each question type This section describes each
of the question types presented by ExamGear and vides instructions for answering each type
pro-ExamGear’s Adaptive ExamThe method used to score the Adaptive Exam requires
a large pool of questions For this reason, you cannotuse this exam in Preview mode The Adaptive Exam ispresented in much the same way as the Practice Exam
When you click the Start Test button, you beginanswering questions The Adaptive Exam does notallow item review, and it does not allow you to markquestions to skip and answer later You must answereach question when it is presented
AssumptionsThis section describes the assumptions made whendesigning the behavior of the ExamGear, TrainingGuide Edition adaptive exam
á You fail the test if you fail any chapter, earn a ing overall score, or reach a threshold at which it
fail-is statfail-istically impossible for you to pass theexam
á You can fail or pass a test without cyclingthrough all the questions
á The overall score for the adaptive exam is Pass orFail However, to evaluate user responses dynami-cally, percentage scores are recorded for chaptersand the overall score
Algorithm Assumptions
This section describes the assumptions used in ing the ExamGear, Training Guide Edition AdaptiveExam scoring algorithm

Trang 5Multiple ChoiceMost of the questions you see on a certification examare multiple choice (see Figure G.4) This question typeasks you to select an answer from the list provided.
Sometimes you must select only one answer, often cated by answers preceded by option buttons (roundselection buttons) At other times, multiple correctanswers are possible, indicated by check boxes preced-ing the possible answer combinations

format, only one answer is correct ExamGear, TrainingGuide Edition prompts you with the number ofanswers you must select
Drag and Drop
One form of drag and drop question is called a Drop
and Connect question These questions present you
with a number of objects and connectors The questionprompts you to create relationships between the objects
by using the connectors The gray squares on the leftside of the question window are the objects you canselect The connectors are listed on the right side of thequestion window in the Connectors box An example isshown in Figure G.5

Trang 7Ordered-List Questions
In the ordered-list question type (see Figure G.7), you
are presented with a number of items and are asked toperform two tasks:
1 Build an answer list from items on the list ofchoices
2 Put the items in a particular order
To remove an item from the answer list, you can useany one of the following four methods:
á Drag the item you want to remove from theanswer list on the left side of the screen back tothe list of choices on the right side of the screen

Trang 8Like the ordered-list question, realize that any item inthe list can be selected twice If you need to select a listitem more than once, you can simply select that itemfor the appropriate node as you construct your tree.Also realize that not every tree question actuallyrequires order to the lists under each node Think ofthem as simply tree questions rather than ordered-treequestions Such questions are just asking you to catego-rize hierarchically Order is not an issue.
You can use either of the following two methods to add
an item to the tree:
á Drag the item from the list of choices on theright side of the screen to the appropriate node ofthe tree on the left side of the screen
