Assuming that I'm guaranteed to fail the distributed, since all I've ever done is with native Fox tables, and that I *might* have a chance at the desktop, my thinking is that I should take the distributed exam at the first possible moment. This will let me see what these tests are like, and show me a lot of material that might be on the desktop in a simpler incarnation. Then I'll take the desktop at the last possible moment, allowing myself the maximum amount of time to prepare.

Cindy,

Download the sample exam from the MCP web site. This will give you a feel for how the exam works. Evan provided some good information that could be true for the VFP exams. Whichever exam you take first, have paper and pencil in your car. As soon as you walk out, jot down notes about everything you remember to help you for the next exam.
