I really can't tell you how to study. You know how you learn best. What I can tell you is what I do. My preparation for taking an exam uses three things. The first is I read through all the course material at least twice paying special attention to anything that Microsoft marks as important or that is listed as an exception. In my years of taking Microsoft exams, those tend to be where they find questions.
The second thing I do is try to do all the practices and labs again. I try to do things a bit differently. I try to push the directions and do things a little differently so I can maybe break something and try to fix it. This helps me become more familiar with the tools and os itself.
The third thing I do is try to take practice exams so I can get a feel for how the questions might be asked. It is very important though, I don't try to memorize the questions and answers. The correct way to use practice exams as far as I am concerned is to read any answer explanations and references that they may included. It is meant to be a learning tool not rote memorization.
Finally, how do I know when I feel I am ready to take the exam? If I feel I am ready to teach the class I should be able to pass the exam because I look at the test as just another student trying to ask me questions.
