Hi Andy,

There's "three" types (well, 2 really but...):

MCSA - Multiple Choice Single Answer

There will be 4-5 (A-D or A-E) choices and 1 must be picked.

They don't say "select one" but the wording (typically) makes it clear
that there is one choice to pick.


MCMA - Multiple Choice Multiple Answer

These ones almost always have 5 choices.  If the wording of the question
isn't explicit then there is always a "(Please select <b>TWO</b> correct
answers)" type of statement at the end.

NB: If the  question doesn't say how many to pick, it is MCSA.

FITB - Fill in the Blank

The questions are very clear.  Similar to the MCMA, there will be a
qualifying statement such as "(Please supply the command only without
arguments or parameters)".

If the path is required to the command or file, it will be asked for.
If path information isn't specified (or explicitly told not to be
entered), the answer will take both pathed and pathless responses.

I'm reviewing some exams now.  Trust me, they intentionally
underwhelming.  A Sans Serif font (around 14 pt, it seems) with a Mono
spaced font for technical terms, config file snippets, code, commands,
etc.

Other than that, key things like <b>TWO</b> and <b>NOT</b> are bolded
and that's about it.

PS - I know there's a lot of other questions about exam content sitting
on the list for me to look at.  I haven't forgotten, just a little
swamped.  I'll answer them before the exam launch, though :)

HTH,
