I just completed the Microsoft Demonstration Certification Exam, and I'm reeling!
For those of you who did not read the thread that mentioned this test, Microsoft is changing the way their certification tests are designed. In addition to the usual multiple choice questions, they are also featuring sorted lists (place events or data objects in the corect order), tree diagrams (identify which characteristics apply to several categories, choosing froma list of characteristics), and flow diagrams (both data flow diagrams and process flow diagrams).
If you have not downloaded this demo exam yet, you really should. This is apparently the way that Microsoft is patterning their future exams, and if you walk in to an exam cold, expecting the old multiple-guess questions, you're in for a BIG surprise. It is MUCH harder, and involves reviewing a case study or problem description that may apply to several questions.
The address to find this exam is

Good luck!
