I just took this exam today and it seemed to have a pretty good level. The exam was divided in three section of 30 questions each. Once you finish a section you can't go back and change your answers, but you can go back to add comments to them.
The first section was specific to web applications and it has a bunch of question with mobile pages, mobile devices, web forms and web controls as the main topics. The second part of the exam looked the hardest one, it was related to framework and types with security attributes, xml serialization attributes, class design and generics in its topics. The third part, the one I was really scared of, was the architecture one and it was really easy to pass, lot of logical questions about designing solutions and best practices.
There is one thing I still have in mind, that really impressed me positively. I got some questions talking about unit testing, code coverage and integration tests ... :-D
As with all the beta exams, I'll have to wait to get my results a couple of weeks. While I wait, I'll take more exams.... Next stop: 71-552 Upgrade from MCAD to MCPD Windows Developer; next Monday morning.

It looks like you're taking the exams in the same order that I am. I sat 071-551 last Friday and have 552 this coming Friday.
I have pretty much the same thoughts about 551 as you, though I didn't get the unit testing/code coverage type questions you did. One thing I did find odd was a Windows Forms question in the second section :-o

I had that question, too.
Last friday I had the 71-552. The 2nd section is exactly the same as in 71-551. Same questions (I think).
Someone in my company took the effort to compile a guide for preparing 71-553 (I'm doing that next friday). I'll email that to Mike. Maybe he can post something.

Heh, yeah that's the one. I guess in that case it will come up again when I sit 552 on Friday. If the questions are going to be the same I wish I could remember what they are so that I can get more right this time round :D
