MCTS exam 70-536

thomasextreme

I have studied for the MCTS exam 70-536 and failed it a few weeks ago. I did not take many practice exams, only the free one with the training kit. I have read the training kit cover to cover, and studied with the elearning Collection 5160, 5161.
I started studying again.
I noticed the new edition .NET Framework Application Development Foundation, Second edition, I have the first edition, is there a big difference?
Also, what are the best practice exams to take?
Also, what are the thoughts about the classroom training 2956 and 2957? They are very expensive and plus I would need to sacrifice a week’s vacation for it

Is there a big difference between the book for MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Application Development Foundation and the second edition?
