Mostly questions on Internet Explorer and Outlook. A couple on MS-Word. Some on general OS troubleshooting. It does have some similarities with 70-271 in terms of the OS stuff. Used both MeasureUp and Actualtests for preparation. About 6 questions almost identical to the practice tests -- no names, but it's virtually word for word.
Easy One

Did okay and got in the high 700's. Gotta to have working knowledge of all the apps. Note that I wasn't a big Outlook fan. :)
Not too bad

846 in almost the entire allotted timeframe. Unlike the course for 70-271, the official MS course WILL teach you what you need to know for this exam. Explore the tools->options in MS Word and IE6 (as stated in the official objectives) and you're already halfway there.
I failed it twice

Easier than 70-271

Study Duration: 2 weeks Intense Study: 1 week.
Believe it or not, this exam seemed more difficult than 271, but my score was 840 or so. I would rate this exam's difficulty right along w/Network+, except without the inconsistancies. Used MS Press book for study, and like the 271 the book lacked a lot of content that was on the test. Recommend actualtests.com PDF, and Exam Cram 2 study guide if I had to do it again.
