Recommendations for studying for this exam

Ok, a little background. I've been managing 8 win2003 servers (wsus, 2 dcs, exchange, ms sql, terminal server, dhcp, dns,etc) for over 2 years. Prior to that my experience was in desktop admin for about 5 years. I took the class 2273A almost two years ago now. I have A+ and Net+.

I'm looking for recommendations on what i should do to study for the exam.

I would like to find some audio material to put on my ipod so i can listen to while running.

besides that---do you think i need a book? i've got the win 2003 admin's pocket consultant but that isn't test oriented. I've also still got the MS Course book.

I've taken some of the free tests online and I certainly do not feel ready for the exam, I didn't do very well on either.

i think i am going to go up to borders and see if the price will be comparable once s&h is factored in.

But buying the book is the easy part--the hard part is studying instead of playing xbox :P

i am going to get the cds for sure.

this is great--things are kind of steady right now on the job, just finished a couple big projects and my boss is out for a few weeks---so i think i'll take advntage of the downtime

How good is the Preplogic audio training CDs? Im thinking about buying that since it's very reasonable at $17.

There okay. A little dry, but okay. The price is certainly right. You won't become an expert by listening to them, but it does cement some decent facts into your brain.
