Nice to have my first Microsoft cert under the belt. Was shaking so hard after the exam. It was much more intense than I expected, but somehow I passed with a 788. Thanks to all who gave support and study recommendations in these forums.

Looks like Microsoft updated the MCSE certification overview which is helpful.

My main resource was MCSE 70-697 and 70-698 Cert Guide from Pearson IT Certification by: Don PoultonSecondary sources include: Measure Up Practice Exams and CBT Nuggets. Together I paid roughly $250-300 for study materials and 70-698 exam. Your fist check should be to see if either your local library or work place is able to offer these resources to your for free or discounted prices.My best recommendation is to purchase your exam voucher and Measure Up practice exams through Get Certified 4 Less. I was hesitant at first, but through another forum member learned you can save a good amount of money (~$50-100) by getting a Replay voucher that includes your initial exam voucher, a free re-take if you fail, and practice exams (through Measure Up) for a single Microsoft exam.
The Pearson IT book overall was an excellent and in-depth book. It includes digital test taking utilities and memory tables. My best recommendation is to use the free trial for CBT Nuggets- if you haven't already- to study videos and get a good visual overview/summary of exam topics. Second, study exam topics in depth using a strong primary source like the Pearson IT text book. Take practice exams in the book and study articles from Microsoft TechNet to hone in on weak areas. I do not recommend using CBT Nuggets as your sole source. In my opinion it is far too light, not worth the price, and lacks the knowledge base you need to pass these exams. They are more cursory and best for review on the go. Finally using a source like Measure Up take simulation exams. Although they seem harsh and unfair, the simulation exams are on point and will help train your mind for how to read convoluted questions similar to Microsoft format. It's imperative to note not only why you got a question right, but why each of the alternative options are wrong. Don't take the easy way out, knowing minute attributes such as command syntax is important. Measure Up also links many of the questions to thorough documentation and explanation on Microsoft TechNet which was invaluable to helping me succeed.
All in all best of luck to each of you as you get certified and continue your professional goals! Feel free to ask more questions and I'll respond as able while not breaking NDAs.
