Welcome to CertBlaster! In this session we will look at one example of a performance
based question type that address exam objective 1.4 on the A+ 220-902 test.
In the CertBlaster interface we’ll choose A+ 220-901 Exam 1.
Because I need full information for this presentation I am picking Study mode and I won’t use
the timer since we don’t need it for this exercise.
Here I want to talk about exam sub-objective 1.4 and a performance based question so I’ll
skip a few to this one. It’s very important that you know 1.4 by heart as you’ll see.
A single line can represent quite a bit of information that you will need to know.
The scenario that sub-objective 1.4 and this Performance Based Question puts you in, is
one where you are asked to configure a new hard disk based on customer specifications
or needs. Taking a closer look, here is the question:
A new Disk has been added to this computer and initialized. The customer wants the drive
to have one partition of 3GB dedicated for Projects with the remainder of the disk dedicated
to Media. Be sure to label the drives accordingly. Now we will get down to the action.
We know we’ll be working with hard drives so start out by accessing the Disk Management
console. Right click the Start button and click on the Disk Management. The console
opens and we can see all of the available disks.
Notice Disk 2 is completely unallocated. Right click on the drive and see your options. We
want to end up with two logical drives so the New Simple Volume option is the best choice,
click it to start the New Simple Volume Wizard and click next in the wizard.
Now you specify the volume size the first one is to be 3GB so enter 3000 in the Simple
volume size box. You have no instructions to the contrary so accept the default drive
letter and click Next. The first partition is for Projects so change
the label accordingly. Click Next and then Finish. Your volume is ready. Now there is
a little over 57GB left for the media. Right click the remaining unallocated portion
and repeat the process. Choose New Simple Volume. We want the rest of the disk for Media
so leave the value unchanged and you will allocate the rest of the disk by clicking
Next. Accept the default drive letter and click Next.
Change the Volume label to Media and click Next and then Finish. Now you can see your
Basic Disk 2 partitioned per the requirement. Click Submit to record your activity.
Let’s see how we got scored. Click the answer button on the top toolbar to view the result.
You can see at the bottom of the answer screen that the question was answered correctly.
Success! Notice here that should you have had a problem or gotten an incorrect score
that the steps are all laid out for you. In Study Mode, the Answer button is always available,
you should only use it if you get stuck during the question and to check your results. Be
