So I passed 70-553, and my MCP transscript now says:
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (Feb 17, 2006)
..Net Framework 2.0: Web Applications
..Net Framework 2.0: Windows Applications

I failed 70-554 (that beta test was very hard!), so I'll need to retake
that. Interestingly, I haven't gotten an email yet from either Pierson's Vue
or Microsoft - although the web sites at both locations are updated with my
pass/fail results.

For anyone who wants to see how these read in the transcript, you can see

I have quite a bit of experience with .Net, and have been beating on it
pretty hard since it first came out. I do a fair bit of teaching to a wide
variety of people, so I get exposed to a much broader range of the framework
than most people do.

In terms of exam prep, I really didn't do much at all. I got a CD full of
Sample exams that came with the MCSD Prep kit from Microsoft that my boss
dropped off on my desk one day in early Janurary (along with a "Get
Certified Now!" sticky-note). I just took took the sample exams two or three
times on the night before the test, with the settings set for 'show me the
answer when I click the button', so that I can read the question, ponder it,
answer it, then have my answer confirmed right there. I personally found all
of the MCSD exams to be fairly easy.

Now, the beta MCSD -> MCPD exams were very difficult. I was not expecting
the level of rigor or detail that came with those exams. This is especially
true in the Remoting and WSE 3.0 sections, where I'm not particular
experienced. It'll be interesting to take the production exam, and see what
sections have been changed.

Congrats. I didn't realise that passing the first of the two upgrade
exams gave you those two ts certs. I haven't seen that written
anywhere on the site. I assumed it was a case of passing both. I'll
have to think about doing that one soon.

The MCSD exams were really pretty easy, especially the 70-300 exam. That
particular exam is nothing but a fancy reading comprehension test. Anyone
good at reading comprehension, critial thinking, and logic should have no
trouble passing it.

I had been taking one exam a week, but after I finished the security exam, I
asked the guy at the test center if I could just sign-up and take it 70-300.
He looked at his watch, looked at me a bit funny, and said, "Sure. Pay at
the receptionist down the hall.". 90 minutes later I had my MCSD...

Um. Okay.

[Pause. Type. Type Type. Send.]

I just went ahead and emailed you all of the actual questions for both
exams, all of the choices for answers, and a key with all the right answers.
I hope this is what you're looking for.
