Do you have a lab environment? If not, that would be the first thing I would recommend. Reading the material is a great way to learn the technology, but learning how to apply it is the important part. Check out hyper-v, or vmware player. Then download the evaluation version of Win7 from Technet. Then lab the things as you are reading them. In my opinion, Transcender is a good practice exam engine. The questions in the Press book are no where near the difficulty of the questions on the 70-680, once again in my opinion. To pass the 680 it's crucial to know why/how instead of just what things mean/do.

Technet is a great resource as well.

Best of luck in your studies!!

To add to NOLAJ's advice, definitely set up a lab. It helps to have a Domain Controller and a couple of clients. Take your time and lab through everything. The 680 is a difficult exam, so make sure to cover everything.
