If you thought that DOS Quiz was hard, just give Advanced DOS Quiz (ADQ) a try! If you thought that DOS Quiz was easy, then try out the questions in ADQ and see your 100% score turn into a 50% score!
Like DOS Quiz, ADQ is quick and easy way to use. It can be used to test anyone on their knowledge of very advanced DOS commands. ADQ is completely taken on a DOS computer, and is completely self-contained. It takes the user through a series of 20 questions, asking the user to perform unusual, difficult, or arcane tasks in DOS. Unlike DOS Quiz, all 20 questions in ADQ are categorized as Advanced.
At the end of ADQ, a score screen is displayed, which shows a listing of all of the questions asked, what the main concept of each question was, and whether the user answered the question correctly or not. The number and percentage correct of the all questions asked is also displayed. The user is given the chance to save a scoresheet to a file or to a printer.
ADQ is probably too advanced to be use as a test in an office environment, though if a position requires a high degree of DOS skill, this may be just the ticket. Otherwise, ADQ should be used as a test of your total DOS knowledge, and as a tutor for some of DOS’s more obscure commands. As with DOS Quiz, ADQ supports many different syntactical uses of each command and may teach you new ways of doing old things.
However, it does not cover all switches of all commands. There are, after all, only 20 questions. So if a particular command piques your interest, see your DOS manual or on-line help (DOS 5.0 and above) for more on that command.

Another thing that really makes Advanced DOS Quiz enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Advanced DOS Quiz. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
