1.  Using the Assessment Exams
------------------------------------------------------------
To become a Microsoft Certified Professional you must pass a 
series of standardized exams which reflect your knowledge 
and skill in planning, implementing, and supporting 
solutions with Microsoft products.  The Microsoft 
Certified Professional Assessment Exams are designed to help you 
evaluate your knowledge and skills prior to taking the 
actual certification exams.  Version 1.5 of the Assessment 
Exams contains 14 assessment exams:

	* Microsoft Excel for Windows 5.0
	*  Microsoft Windows NT 3.1
	*  Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
	*  Microsoft Windows 3.1
	*  Networking with Microsoft Windows 3.1
	*  Microsoft SQL Server 4.2 Database Administration
	     for OS/2
	*  Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2 - Enterprise
	*  Microsoft SQL Server 4.2 Database Administration 
	     for Microsoft Windows NT
	*  Microsoft SQL Server 4.2 Database Implementation
	*  Microsoft Access Application Development
	*  Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows 3.0 Application 
	     Development 
	*  Networking with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
	*  Microsoft Project for Windows 4.0
	*  Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
	
These assessment exams will also give you practice answering 
questions of a format similar to those on the actual exams.  
Because these assessment exams cover many of the concepts 
you are required to know for certification, the higher you 
score on a specific assessment exam, the closer you may be 
to passing the actual certification exam.  However, these 
exams do not serve as actual certification exams, nor does 
performance on these exams guarantee or directly correlate 
to the success you may have on the actual certification 
exams.

	Setting Your Name
	------------------------------------------------------
	To set your name on an exam, click the Options button 
	on the Select a Test window.  This will bring up a 
	dialog box that will allow you to enter your first and 
	last name.  When you start an exam, your name will 
	appear in the test introduction and on any score 
	reports.

	Starting An Exam
	------------------------------------------------------
	To take an assessment exam, click on one of the exam 
	titles in the Select a Test window.  Text describing 
	the specific exam will appear in the Description 
	window.  To start the exam, click the Start Test 
	button.

	There is no time limit on the assessment exams.  And, 
	you may repeat the assessment exams as often as you 
	wish.

	On-line help is always available by clicking the Help 
	button or pressing F1.  Note that only the options 
	displayed on screen in the Microsoft Certification 
	Assessment Exams are available.  You may 
	see some options documented in Help which are not 
	implemented in this version of the assessment exams.

	Answering Questions
	------------------------------------------------------
	Specific instructions are provided for answering each 
	question.  Read the on-screen prompts before 
	answering a question, to be sure that you understand 
	what is expected.  

	If you answer a question incorrectly, you will be 
	given feedback indicating the correct answer.  You 
	will be allowed to review previous questions and to 
	mark those you wish to review later, but you cannot 
	change your answer to a question after proceeding to 
	the next question.  (You may repeat the exam if you 
	wish.)

	Scoring
	------------------------------------------------------
	After you end the exam, your score will be 
	automatically displayed.  You can also check your 
	scores on each exam using the Scores button in the 
	Select a Test window.  A record is kept of all the 
	scores for the exams you have taken.

	The assessment exams are not scored as pass or fail.  
	The score given for each assessment exam enables you 
	to evaluate your knowledge and determine if additional 
	study may be of benefit.
