wahey!
717 (700 needed to pass) so I was verrry close but still, months of hard work and reading finally paid off.
A few links / thoughts for anyone else studying this now and apologies if this has all been posted a hundred times before
The exam itself was 40 questions, mainly multiple choice questions with one, two or three right answers. There were some that you had to choose 3 of 5 options and put them in the right order so something like:
Choose 3 of the following and put them in the right order for going to work in the morning:
A: Go back to bed
B: Get up
C: Get breakfast
D: Phone in sick
E: Get in car and drive to work
So you would choose B, C, E.
I was given ages to do it (I think its 2hr 30mins or 3hr) so time is certainly not an issue. I was also provided with some paper to right down any notes and workings out I wanted.
For actually studying the exam / learning the objectives I used the official study guide and also the MSDN articles.

They can either be done online or have free trial versions to be downloaded.

The portal for MSDN for C# - very useful, well worth reading through each of the main topics to get a better understanding of how it all fits together

This site links all the exam objectives and has discussions / notes on each.

This site has links to all the MSDN articles for each exam objective
Other than that all I would say is I didnt get too bogged down in learning every sinlge method for every single class in every objective. I would say it is more important to know a) what a class can do and b) why you would use it. The rest will come.
