Can't find any info online, so Microsoft may be trying to hide it: this test is NOT 50 questions/90 minutes.
I walked in expecting a regular test, instead I was blindsided by THREE TESTS--BACK TO BACK.
Instead of an upgrade test, I got all three tests required for the stupid MCPD. ALL AT ONCE. IT TOOK HOURS.
Thanks for nothing, CramSession.
There's no chance I'll rely on you for any info.
Don't take it to easy.

This exam is very hard, specially questions about design and development of ASP.NET applications.
Some of the questions are tricky - sometimes every single word is important to be able to pick the correct answer.
