Over the years I have heard it said many times that some people feel that Microsoft uses trick questions in its exams. For the most part I think this isn’t true. I think that their questions are tough and take a bit of thought to get the right answer sometimes but if you really know the subject in question, there shouldn’t be a problem (except in case of taking the exam in a non native language, always try to take it in your language whenever possible). There is one example where I think Microsoft can be unfair in the wording of their question. That is what we will look at today.
In one or two exams in my past, there has been a question related to striped volumes that I feel can be worded in such a way as to be misleading. It goes something like this….
You have 4 drives that have unallocated space as follows: (the numbers may be different but for our purposes assume they are) 2g, 3g, 3g, 4g. You want to create a stiped volume with parity. What is the largest volume size that you can have in this scenario? The choices given will probably be something like: a) 8g, b) 6g, c) 12g, d) 9g
Think about it and we will pick it apart tomorrow.
