Thomas,
Thanks for your comments. Would you be willing to help us create content
for the exams? After the job analysis, we will write test objectives and
then write items to those objectives. Your help (and that of others) at
those points will really increase the quality of the exam. In fact, I would
say that we cannot make a quality exam without your help.
-Alan

: So what I'm suggesting is this: In stead of relying heavily on knowing
: the correct flags, syntax and arguments to use (as 101 & 102 did), I
: would suggest putting in several questions with only _wrong_ answers,
: and then ask us to select the best out of the wrong answers.
:
: Why? you ask. You see if a person has to choose the "best wrong answer",
: they have to understand the impact of all the answers, and then weigh
: them up by means of "best practises" or some policy which would come
: from experience I believe.
