I just took it today: there were some ambiguous questions and misleading
answers, but it wasn't too bad: there weren't any questions for which I had to
make a complete guess (well, one, but process of elimination got it (I think)).
I scored 835 out of 1000, with passing being 712....

It counts towards the MSCD certification, but that's about it. :-)
