Some of the questions are specific to complex reports that require using some FRx functionality that is not necessary for designing typical reports. Although all answers can be found in the Essentials I and II training manuals, individuals who have significant customer experience in designing reports with Microsoft FRx will have an advantage when they take this exam.
