Job interview tomorrow - multiple choice IT test

[Big Chris]

I've had one of these before a few years ago and they're a right pain in the baskside. The questions are along the lines of:

To adjust the page file size in Windows XP is it:

a) My Computer > Properties > Peformance > Advanced > Virtual Memory

b) My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance > Virtual Memory

c) My Computer > Properties > Peformance > System > Virtual Memory

Each choice is so similar that any could be correct, and if sat infront of a PC you'd get there with your eyes closed, but how can you revise/prepare for a test like this? Short of memorising all the routes to all the standard support areas of XP in less than 24hrs, surely it's just down to luck? Help!

 

[Big Chris]

From memory they were all like that, very few had obvious answers (being a test and all) but I can't imagine many people would know the exact route when given three very similar options as above.

Lets just hope I can smooth-talk my way in the interview!

Incidentally all of those answers are wrong, B is the closest but it misses out some steps.

hehe it was just an example off the top of my head, doesn't bode too well for the test though does it!

They've just phoned and changed the time from 3pm to 11am too which is nice, was planning to go down in the morning but I'm gonna have to get a train this evening now and bunk at a mate's house. Not had an interview for years, kinda nervous...

 

[Big Chris]

Right, off to catch the train, wish me luck...

Just got back home, interview went really well, the test was as I expected but I passed it so I'm chuffed.

The company provide IT staff to various companies in London, primarliy Investment Banks. The chap who interviewed me said he thinks I have the skills and personality to work on trade floor support which I'm quite excited about.

Going back for a 2nd interview next week sometime but it's looking good so far
