This will be my first paper:
Exam 70-536 [Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development Foundation]

From the link above, you'll find these information:
- Exam news
- Exam topics covered
- Audience profile
- Credit toward certification
- Code languages
- Prepartion tools and resources
- Skills measured

I guess the most important is the skills measured section. You'll be told in detailed what knowledge are required in order to take the exam. You can use the long list to measure your knowledge.

I just jot down the keywords for exam topics covered in this paper:
1) system types & collections
2) service processes, threading, application domains
3) embedding configuration, diagnostic, management, and installation features
4) serialization & I/O
5) security
6) interoperability, reflection, mailing funcitonality
7) globalization, drawing and text manipulation
