Yesterday afternoon I took Microsoft Cert test 70-320 "Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework". Passed with flying colors. It was a different test than I expected, but I had been given some warning by a coworker. From the title, you would expect 50% Web Services and 50% Enterprise Services.

Those two things are certainly covered on the test, but the are joined by a large amount of .NET Remoting and SQL Server. All of the tests I've taken so far in the MCSD.NET  track have had fair amounts of database stuff, but this one had a lot more than I expected.

So if you are thinking about taking this test, I would suggest you spend some time reviewing Code Clinic's Review Guide. It is basically a big collection of MSDN links for the related sections. Another excellent resource is MCSE Braindumps, but that is more of a "memorize it and hope" resource instead of a "learn it and know it" resource.
