    I was looking into taking the desktop applications and distributed applications by VC++ (I think test numbers 015 and 016). Is it worth taking these test now with .NET out? What is the best way to prepare for these tests? Someone told me that the exam cram series books by Coriolis were good. But then they are out of print which again tells me that either the test is about to expire or that the books are grossly outdated and that the test format has changed. So whats a good source to prepare for the test? Thanks.

      Yes these exams are still worth it. All the exams necessary for .NET won't be available until sometime in 2003. Even so MS has been quoted as saying there are no current plans to retire the existing MCSD certs. I used the Exam Cram books to get an idea of the subject matter but relied mostly on experience and study from other sources, such as MSDN.
