Sample Question From 70-315 Exam

70-315 is an exam toward earning the Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) status. Here’s a question I found in a sample test by Exam Cram:

You have designed an ASP.NET Web form that displays inventory information. When a product falls below the reorder level, you need to highlight the product information in a table so that it stands out to the user. Which method of highlighting is most accessible?

  1. <B>
  2. <BGCOLOR>
  3. <BLINK>
  4. <MARQUEE>

So which is it: “stands out” or “accessible”? Hmm… I wonder how many of these questions appear in real tests.

No, absolutely serious.

This is the reason the MCP development certifications carry little weight in the development community.

Hmmm,

Interesting. I used to wonder why some seemingly brilliant people fail some exams!

Hmmm. Perhaps I've seen too many of these questions, because it makes sense to me. All of these methods make text stand out but only one is accessible (ie viewed through LYNX et al.) Or is everyone just "ewe-ing" because this is so easy?

It's fairly simple though, I think. It should be both accessible and 'outstanding'. Since marquee and blink are not accessible at all (instead they're the opposite of accessible), Bold is left as the only correct answer.

The best and most realistic practice exams are from Transcender. When I was purusing Windows 2000 certifications, the practice questions on Transcender were practically identical to the real test questions.

I think Transcender somehow "partners" with a testing center and they somehow do screen-shots of the actual questions, then make minor revisions for their practice questions.

It seem other practice exam packages other than Transcender aren't worth a damn.
