- Read Me File for the
- Novell Certification Assessment Diskette
-
- The Novell Certification Assessment Diskette is designed to help
- you evaluate your NetWare knowledge. It will also give you practice
- answering questions of a similar format to those on the actual
- certification exams.
-
- Because this test covers the concepts you are required to know for
- certification, the higher you score, the closer you may be to
- actually becoming certified. However, the tests do not serve
- as actual certification exams, nor does performance on them
- guarantee or directly correlate to the degree of success you may have
- on the actual certification exams.
-
- You may take the tests one at a time, in any order, and you may
- repeat each as often as you wish. They are not scored as pass
- or fail. The score enables you to evaluate the quality of your
- performance and decide whether you would benefit from additional
- instruction.
-
- At the end of each test, your score will appear along with
- recommended study materials, called "prescriptions." Prescriptions
- for each section are not customized based upon the section score,
- but display all recommended study materials for that section. All
- study materials, whether self-study, instructor-led or computer-
- based, are available through your local Novell Authorized Education
- Center (NAEC).
-
- We thank you for taking the challenge to "put your networking
- knowledge to the test." Good Luck.

-
- How to start the program
-
- 1. Place the diskette into a disk drive.
- 2. Transfer control to that drive (e.g., A: then <ENTER>)
- 3. At the prompt for the disk drive, type CERT then <ENTER>.
-
- If you are having problems running the program, increase the number
- of file handles on your system. This can be done by increasing the
- "FILES =" parameter in your config.sys file by 5. A common number
- of file handles is 20.
-
-
- Program Details
-
- When the program begins, you will see screens containing text on
- the purpose of the program. Press any key to proceed past these
- screens.
-
- You will then be asked to enter your first and last names and to
- confirm your entries. This creates a data file for your scores on
- the tests you will subsequently take. The program will then remember
- you and the scores on the tests you have previously taken each time
- you use the program. These scores may be printed at any time.
-
- After entering your name you will be given a choice of certification
- programs. Choose the program in which you are interested. After
- choosing the certification route, you will see a Test List. The test
- list is covered on one or more menus. At these menus you should
- choose a test.
-
-
- After you make the test choice, you will see an Options Menu. You
- may choose to take a section of topic test, see the reports on
- previous tests you have taken, or return to the Test List.
-
- Choosing to take a section will produce a menu of sections within
- the test of interest. You may select any of these sections to
- receive a subtest on this material. The program will present
- several questions dealing with this section. Taking a topic test
- will give you 30 randomly selected questions for that topic.
-
-
- Taking a Test
-
- All of the questions in the tests are multiple choice. When you
- see a test question, you can choose an option by typing A, B, C,
- etc., or by using the arrow keys to move the highlight bar. You
- may Skip a question if you wish; however, the question will appear
- again at the end of the test. You may also Cancel the test.
- Canceling the test will take you back to the section menu without
- giving you a score for the test.
-
-
- Test Scores and Prescriptions
-
- When you have answered the questions, the program will save your
- score to your data file and display the score for you. The score
- report tells you how many questions you answered correctly out of the
- number that were presented. It also displays the percent value of
- your score.
-
- You can choose to Print your score or See Prescriptions. If you
- choose to see prescriptions a list of appropriate sections from
- Novell Education Student Manuals, the Novell Product Red Manuals
- and the Novell CBT products will be displayed. If you study the
- material outlined in the prescriptions you will likely increase
- your score on that section when you take the test again. You may
- Print these prescriptions along with your score if you wish.
