work experience you have got and how did you plan for exams...

I have quite a bit of experience with .Net, and have been beating on it
pretty hard since it first came out. I do a fair bit of teaching to a wide
variety of people, so I get exposed to a much broader range of the framework
than most people do.

In terms of exam prep, I really didn't do much at all. I got a CD full of
Sample exams that came with the MCSD Prep kit from Microsoft that my boss
dropped off on my desk one day in early Janurary (along with a "Get
Certified Now!" sticky-note). I just took took the sample exams two or three
times on the night before the test, with the settings set for 'show me the
answer when I click the button', so that I can read the question, ponder it,
answer it, then have my answer confirmed right there. I personally found all
of the MCSD exams to be fairly easy.

Now, the beta MCSD -> MCPD exams were very difficult. I was not expecting
the level of rigor or detail that came with those exams. This is especially
true in the Remoting and WSE 3.0 sections, where I'm not particular
experienced. It'll be interesting to take the production exam, and see what
sections have been changed.
