I'm taking the test in a couple of hours, and just ran through the 224 question RAT testmaster test. I got 204/224, or 910/1000. Not bad -- I'm hoping for a score in the 90's on the real thing.

However, there are some problems with the RAT questions. There are several in which you are scored wrong even though the answer is right; I think these are just simple errors in the test itself. Then there are a couple where I disagree with the answer RAT gives.

Here are some notes for anyone who takes this prep.

Question 48 -- about a cluttered web page -- is tagged to the wrong answer. E.g., get it right, and it is still scored wrong.

Question 40 -- about the three attributes of HTML forms. This is another one that scores wrong even if you get it right. It flags META as one of the answers, and that is wrong.

I think Question 152 -- about what a digital certificate does, is another one where RAT just flagged the wrong answer accidentally.

Now the usual murmurring and demurring:

On the RAS security question, RAT gives firewall as the answer. I'm going for enabling callback. That is a security feature unique to RAS, so it seems like the best, and logical, answer.

RAT tries to get clever and pose a "CSS" question in which the correct answer is "commercially secured server." I don't expect this to be the way the question appears on the exam, if I get it. In fact, "commercially secured server" is simply not a standard term of art in IT. So we should stop giving it any credence.

This test poses the usual conundrum about e-commerce: shopping cart services or credit card services? The question appears twice, and opts for credit card services. I missed it both times, opting for virtual shopping cart services. I still don't know, for sure, which answer I like best.

Another conundrum: there is a question about which protocol offers the highest security, and includes among the answers L2TP and PPTP. I chose L2TP, RAT chose PPTP. Personally, given these two choices, I'd have to go with L2TP, as it incorporates the best of PPTP and L2F. If I see the question on the test, I hope it isn't so ambiguous.

So, I think I really did better than 91 percent. But I'll take that on the real exam, thank you very much!!!

Thanks for all the feedback Baz, I am going to take all your comments into consideration and check them out. I will make corrections as I see fit and perhaps dig deeper, especially with regards to wrongly tagged answers! The Commercially Secured Server is good for a smile and im glad you liked the joke, I originally saw this in 'Exam Cram' and liked it so much I included it, an obvious effort to get you on Cascading Style Sheets!
The Virtual Cart Services I too wondered about at the time, all I can say in my defence is that after a fair amount of book work I went for what is included there and stated my reasons and sources in the notes.
The question on PPTP turned out to be different in the real exam, although you can get the jist.
Rock on
Rat Yeah
