Exam questions

The migration from product-based to role-based certifications has affected the way exam questions are written. The following diagram represents the levels of complexity in learning. These exams used to concentrate on remembering and understanding. They now focus on evaluating, analyzing, and applying knowledge:

An effective way to understand these changes is that questions are now about the why and the how, not the what; that is, a question may test you on how to implement a feature, and not on what needs to be implemented.

You'll find some tips and tricks to help you toward the end of the book, in the Tips and Tricks section. This will provide you with tips for taking the exam, as well as two sets of practice test questions to help you prepare.
