actually, it wasn't the same as any doc CD i've ever seen. i've worked with
different versions from jan 2000 up to the current CD, became familiar with
it's search and navigation, and felt confident using it. on the lab, it
wasn't the same. there are key documents that you find on an actual doc CD
that are not avail on the lab CD. i just took the lab May 2nd. you may have
seen an actual doc cd, but not in my lab. had i been given the actual June
2001 CD, i would have been much happier than what i was given. i'm telling
you guys, i would do some quick sample searches to make sure my results were
similar to the same searches i had already used in my preparation, and not
even close. i don't even know what it was conisdering a hit. the only way to
get anywhere was menu navigation. on the real doc CD you don't have to
navigate from menus all the time.
i'm not trying to be argumentative. i'm just being factual. what i had was
not the actual doc CD.
hth
good luck everyone.
