- Read Me File for the
- Novell Certified NetWare Engineer (CNE)
- Assessment Test Diskette
-
- The Certified NetWare Engineer Assessment Test is designed to help you
- evaluate your NetWare skills. It will also give you practice answering
- questions of a similar format to those on the actual CNE certification exams.
-
- Because this test covers the concepts you are required to know for CNE
- certification, the higher you score, the closer you may be to actually
- becoming a CNE. However, the Assessment Test does not serve as an actual
- certification exam, nor does performance on this test guarantee or directly
- correlate to the degree of success you may have on the actual CNE
- certification exams.
-
- You may take the quizzes one at a time, in any order, and you may repeat each
- quiz as often as you wish. The quizzes are not scored as pass or fail. The
- numerical score enables you to evaluate the quality of your performance and
- decide whether you would benefit from the training prescriptions provided.
-
- At the end of each section quiz, your numerical 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 CNE Assessment Test program
-
- 1. Place the diskette containing the CNE Assessment Test into a disk drive.
- 2. Transfer control to that drive (e.g., A: then <ENTER>)
- 3. At the prompt for the disk drive, type CNE then <ENTER>.
-
- If you are having problems running the CNE Assessment Test, 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.
-
- The CNE Assessment Test diskette is not a multiuser program and therefore
- cannot be run as shareable on a network. The CNE Assessment Test
- diskette is not copy protected. You may copy the entire contents of the
- diskette to a subdirectory on your hard drive; however, to begin the
- program, you must be in the subdirectory.
-
-
- Program Details
-
- When the program begins, you will see two 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 see a Test List. At this menu you should
- choose one of the tests.
-
- After you make the test choice, you will see an Options Menu. You may choose
- to take a test, see the reports on previous tests you have taken, or return to
- the Test List.
-
- Choosing Take a Test 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 from 6 to 20 questions dealing with this
- section.
-
- Taking a Test
-
- All of the questions in the CNE Assessment Test 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 section 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.
