>I wasn't able to attend any of the recent study sessions for the 70-100, but I looked in on a couple of the logs, and judging by the general sentiment apparent there, most people are as confused by the format as I was. I think it's ridiculous that test taking skills need to have so much to do with whether you pass or fail. The tests should be more about knowledge of the subject matter, which I felt like they thoroughly obscured. Maybe I am just bitter. :-)

I will agree, the format takes some getting used to, but the 70-100 is still the closest to testing real world knowledge and skills. My study time consisted of brushing up on the test format. The rest of the test drew on skills I use almost every day.

Everyone on the UT repeat after me... "I will not take the 70-100 without taking the MS demo test".
