There are two practice test papers at the end of this book. There is a set of questions at the end of each chapter. These questions are meant to test your understanding. A good way to prioritize and focus your efforts is to use the questions to identify the areas where you score low and then work on those areas. The answers to all the questions and the solutions to the practice test papers have been provided at the end.
This book discusses all the topics from the E20-120 Content Management Foundations exam syllabus and augments each topic with illustrated examples and practice questions. Two comprehensive full-length practice tests build the confidence needed to tackle the real exam successfully. By providing coherent, detailed, exam-focussed study material scrutinized by technical reviewers and plentiful practice questions this book goes far beyond dm-cram, at a fraction of the cost of EMC Training.
