Well I am on holidays at the moment and having a 2 week break from work and then I will also be getting back into studying for 646. Look to do the exam some time in August at the moment or maybe earlier. Depends on how fast I get through the material.
Have the MS Press book here... looks like a rather large read, but apart from the planning aspect, from the topic's I scanned through, it looks like a lot of 640 and 642 subject mater. Would I be right that 646 is a culmination of the 640 and 642 exams with a implementation point of view added?
Wouldn't mind a little feedback on people who have completed their 646. Wouldn't mind getting this one away and getting an MCITP status.

Yeah, that book is a rather a large read, I found it a little tough to keep going in some areas (way too dull). I have not taken 640 or 642 but I would imagine it is just a culmination of these (as 647 is for the EA). I did not find anything too hard, but there is a fair bit covered which is why I guess the book is so big
Good luck. -

I just finished the MS Press 646 book, and I'm reviewing my notes now. I always get to this point where I've read an entire book, done all the labs, practice tests, etc. - and I feel like I don't know anything! There's such a flood of details...maybe it's brain overload.
I think I need some more hands on. Not sure when I'll test - probably in a couple more weeks. If anyone has any prep guides or anything they can point me to, or any other tips, I'd appreciate it.MCTS

I would more think of 646 as 624 with a dabling of 643 added in, and a basic how to added in for managing the server's services as well. IMHO. I didn't find 640 overlaping much with it when I took them.
