you are going to guess go for the longest option”. I’m hoping that works in this case. Option B is tempting since it has ‘recovery’ in the answer….<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. I think section A was too easy, overall. Except for the dodgy (doggy?) questions...<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Q6 - it has to be A, in spite of the silly "lots of data" wording.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It can't be B only tests the QSG, not the solution, as the question dictates.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It can't be C because eval criteria are determined during design. If it's C, it contradicts the study design and the question is invalid.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It can't be D because that's obviously evaluation.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But Q19 is nagging at me more than Q6 did.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">If I had to guess, I'd go for D, based on my patented "What Were The Examiners Hoping I Would Say?" strategy. But I don't like any of the options.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Let me explain how I read the question:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">A "complete disaster recovery strategy" is the series of steps taken
<b>after</b> a disaster to recover from the disaster. <br>
It is <b>not</b> talking about preparing for disaster. <br>
It is <b>not</b> talking about preparing the strategy itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">It won't be <A>. A backup plan should be prepared before the disaster, not after. <br>
<B> is the only option that refers to recovering data, but practising the procedures is done before, not after the disaster.<br>
Prevention measures are not relevant to disaster recovery, so it's not <C>. <br>
<D> is also about practising. Risk assessment is useful to PREPARE a recovery strategy, but is not done as part of a strategy for recovering from disaster.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">I don't like any of the options. Growl.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
