Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) - Dynamics CRM 2011

I've recently passed the MB2-866: Customisation and Configuration exam - Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011- with 985 / 1000 points and I would like to share some thoughts about it (without breaching the NDA I had to sign):

• it was, generally speaking, a medium-difficulty test, which covered a wide range of settings areas 
• some questions in the exam were not updated (that is to say, for some years now, unfortunately). For instance, current versions of MS Dynamics CRM 2011 support customising Views with multi-series data right from the user-interface (e.g. it is not necessary to export the view as an XML file, edit it and re-import it, anymore). I feel it is somehow unacceptable for such an exam not to be updated to software's solution current editions !
• the test itself is scheduled for 180 minutes. However, one may finish it in half the time if he / she studied the relevant documentation and has had hands-on experience with Dynamics CRM before. 
• some questions were aimed at replicating real-life problems - asking for a proper solution while others were pure theory. Given the fact that you can easily find the theory in the standard documentation, it would probably be worthwhile to put even more emphasis on the practical aspects of the solution. After all, a certified professional should be able to solve real business problems and posses knowledge about best practices rather than be able remember standard settings and their location in the system. 

All in all, it was quite an interesting experience and I look forward for the future set of certification exams to come out  (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013).
