Good luck.  I’ve taken it twice.  My best advice is to break every question 
down into manageable parts.  When you see a question that has multiple 
requirements, it can sometimes be intimidating.  But just break the task down 
into individual configuration items.  I’ve found by doing this it makes it much 
easier to get all the points in a given section.

And don’t get stuck on any given item for too long.  I have made this mistake 
too often.  If you have to, hard code something even it doesn’t meet the task 
requirements.  Get it working, move on, but make a note of it and you’ll often 
see the solution when you come back to correct it.

I hope this helps, and good luck!!
