I think if it’s covered in your study materials (i.e. MS Press book), then it’s probably on the exam. Note that MS doesn’t release the number or exact types of questions on the exams. If you use a MS Press book, then it comes with the MeasureUp practice exams. Those are the types of questions you’ll see on the actual exam. No matter what types of questions in your paper, you will succeed in 70-536 as long as you know all subjects fully! How much of the knowledge you grasp is the key in your exams.
