I took the test this morning and only missed 3 questions . Many people talked how to study it, which book, notes, mocks, specs, etc. Read all of them, they are all valuable.
I want to give several tips on exam itself, since it is still fresh in my mind.
1) Questions are grouped well with objectives, therefore, one question can help your answer the other. When you are not sure about the answer, you can use the previous/next buttons to find out some hint.
2) Some questions are very easy, when you are sure, do it fast. You can save some time for the tricky ones. Do mark the tricky ones. If you have time, you can review and fixed it.
3) When you review, the review button does not work. It wastes me about 1-2 minutes. Double click the question marked instead.
4) Some question's answers are obviously wrong. For example, Select-One question has two answers absolutely equivalent. Do not spend too much time on it. Choose one, and bat on your luck! I think I lost one point on that.
Good luck to everyone!

Add one:
5) If you don't have a clue on a question, random select the number of answers specified, and mark it. Move on! I had one, and still don't know the correct answer even now.
