Of course I didn't get as much knowledge. But we're comparing apples and oranges here. To say that I learned less when studying for the MIS DSST than the C++ course ignores the fact that there's simply more to learn with C++. The only way to tell would be to take, for example, the MIS course and test and compare knowledge gained from the two. But who does that? In general, though, I would say I learned a lot more from courses, particularly specific knowledge. Studying for a test really improves general knowledge, though, because you have to study everything.
