Microsoft gives a “Carrier Assist”
In conjunction with the Second Shot program which allows test takers to retake an exam for free if they fail — and which has come and gone a few times — Microsoft is now offering a Career Assist package.
This package is essentially a collection of online study materials that can be accessed online for 90 days for an additional $35 fee.
It’s available only in conjunction with Second Shot (which is currently scheduled to end on June 30).
Incidentally, if game shows are more your speed, you can go carrier assist and play Microsoft’s "Are Your Certifiable?" game. This requires Silverlight to be installed, though, but you might find it worthwhile; despite the format, some of the questions are pretty good.
