You need to know everything about COM components.

Everything about the P&D Wizard.

Everything about the Windows Common Controls i.e. Listview, TabStrip, Treeview etc...

Everything about ADO and tad bit about SQL.

You need to know how to implement business rules and how to split up COM Components to be the most effective.

Everything about the Debugging tools and Error Handeling.

Quite a bit about Visual Source Safe.

You pretty much need to know everything about the VB UI. What alla the menus do and what everything in those menus do.

I have to admit it's a pretty hard test if you aren't prepared for it.

Congrats! :D

Dude, Go and take the Distributed Apps test right away, It is very similar. You should pass it without a whole lot of studying. Then your half way to MCSD.

Thanks alot :D yah thats my plan. It does cover some other topics like MTS and IIS, both of which i know almost nothing about. Mainly because i have no access to them. But i am reading about it. There's a big diference between reading about something and actually using it.
