This will sound like a sales pitch but I'm not pushing third party practice
exams. The assesment exams are like Armen wrote; too generalized with
comparision to the actual exam. If you are unsure of the actual exam I would
recommend MeasureUp (recognized by MSFT as a practice provider) or some other
practice vendor. Of course this cost $$. (The benefit of these is that they
can help you to understand what to expect with the real exam and what areas
you'll need to study more for.)
Now I personally have found the assesments to be very weak with regards to
the actual exam. This is a good thing because I want the exams to be tough
to help ensure quality candidates have passed it at the same time it can be
frustrating when you think you know it and you fail the real exam. Then
again be honest with yourself and ask yourself do you really know the
material?
Thanks
