Brad,
Yes, I tested for R&S .
My NDA friendly answer is that the good questions on the exam were as clear
as what you see in the sample. However, the test questions are much harder
than these simple "what is" questions given on the web page. Be prepared to
read quickly and analyze quicker.
Test tip! About a year or so ago, someone posted a tip to the groupstudy
that is very useful in test taking (I forget who it was). Anyways, if there
are certain thing that you are not all that well versed in, such as hex to
binary to decimal conversions or IP address classes, make a reference
sheet for yourself. When you go to take your test, before you click that
start button, recreate your reference sheet on the paper provided. By doing
it before you start teh test, you will not be wasting precious test time
building a handy reference sheet. It can be very handy to have this to
refer to during the test.
