From: Tony Johansson on 21 Mar 2010 09:56 Hi! If you have these two question that says the following. 1. Uses more memory when working with file system. 2. Provides better performance over FileStream and each of these question should be connected to one of these FileStream, MemoryStream or BufferedStream. The first question . "Uses more memory when working with file system" should be connected to the FileStream. Can somebody explain why FileStream is considered as the right answer to that question The second question. "Provides better performance over FileStream" should be connected to MemoryStream." I find that the BufferedStream is just as good answer as the MemoryStream. So again can somebody explain why MemoryStream is considered as the right answer to that question //Tony

If the question you quoted are exactly as they appear, without any contextual information, either answer would do in my opinion. -- Willem van Rumpt

I mean a question according to us have two answers being the right but only one is the correct choice. //Tony

If I have to choose the fastest stream from those three, then yes, MemoryStream is the one to go for from the list. But I can only see a reason for such a question, if the intent is to teach what the difference is between a File(Stream) and (a) Memory(Stream). I did one exam, but that was back in 2004 or 2005. IIRC, the actual questions on the exam were for the most part formulated in a precise, and unambiguous manner. The questions needed to be read thoroughly, but if you /did/, there would be a logical and clear answer to the question (which would also be present as one of the options ;) ). -- Willem van Rumpt

I did the 070-536 in February and at least I got no question where it was that unclear what the right answer could be. Of course, the questions do not give a big context but normaly you get exactly the information that is required. So when you read the question carefully, then you can think about the differences and answer the right answer. Of ocurse: I did the exam only once so maybe there are some questions like the question you gave and I was simply lucky to not get such a question in my exam :) With kind regards, Konrad
