MCTS Exam 70-632 Training Kit

[Xiao]

Hi,

I'm studying MS Project in the above book (Microsoft Press, by Joli Ballew,
Deanna Reynolds, Bonnie Biafore). But I'm sometime afraid by what seems to
be strange errors.
Especially, page 367:
"When Project automatically levels resources, you want to be sure that any
conflicts that arise between the sharer file and the resource pool are
always resolved in the same way. Specifically, you want the resource pool to
always win any conflict. What setting do you need to enable to configure
this?
The answer cited as good is: Pool Takes Precedence.
What do you think of this assertion?

I'm quite confused. Is the 70-632 exam such tricky?
Thanks for your opinion.

Xiao

Xiao --

Neither the question or the answer are tricky. The authors are correctly
stating the best way to work with a shared resource pool file. No, the
70-632 exam is not tricky either. I found the test to be well-written and
very straight forward. There were no questions even close to what I would
consider a trick question. On the other hand, I strongly doubt that you can
really prepare adequately for the exam simply by reading a book. I think
that in addition to the book, it helps if you have real-world experience
managing projects with Microsoft Project. Hope this helps, and good luck on
the exam!

Dale,
I agree for the need of real world experiment, but in this book they said
that the way the resource sharing was set, drive the priority of leveling!
In fact it tells which project will impose its resource fees and resource
calendars. Nothing to do with leveling.
