Be an expert. Know more than enough of all Blueprint topics so as not to be
fooled or tricked by the exam. If anyone can tell you what is not important
for the exam from that Blue print that would be great, but having been there
and seen it, I don't skip a line from the DOC CD anymore, and then look for
more resources elsewhere.
Other people will suggest that you at least know where to find the
information on the Doc CD, but you must have seen it to know where it is,
and you may as well spend time on it while you are there.
my 2 pence worth.
Good luck.
Herbert.
