    Knock it out of the park.
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    Congrats! Good score and you got it honestly by doing the work.
    I'm taking this next month, hopefully I do as good.

    I used the MS Press training kit, the sybex study guide Amazon.com: MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-642 (9780470261699): William Panek, Tylor Wentworth, James Chellis: Books , exam cram book and the measure up exams included with the MS Press book and the one that came with the Exam Cram bookand the exam cram practice tests.
    I also did a lot of labbing.
    The exam cram tests in the book are the same questions you get if you were to purchase Examforce practice tests.

    So much material for 1 exam?

    Which one is the most beneficial would you say?

    The MS Press book. I only studied the major areas (like DNS) from the Sybex. Exam cram is a good thin book to use while reviewing and it contains practice exam questions.

    That's the set you need to take you all the way. Don't forget to read some of the technet articles that the book references. The book is sparse in how it covers some areas and will just reference you to a technet article. I'd recommend lookig at Claymoore's sticky threads for some good technet articles, too.
    Good luck.
    Edit: I don't know if I'd bother looking at the 70-647 sticky though. Some noob is doing it and it's a work in progress.
