70-216 - Bad rep or just bad?

I've read over and over how hard the 70-216 exam is. I'm curious if this is
simply being repeated from those who have read it other places, or if each
post represents a true opinion from someone who has taken the exam. I have
reviewed the topics for the exam, and quite frankly, it just doesn't look
all that difficult. I would like to get some opinions from those that have
taken the exam, and if you consider it to be very difficult, please give a
few reasons why.

Thanks!

This test is not hard, I read the same thing. The only major difference is
that the questions are longer so you have to weed out
more of the bullshit. As long as you have read the book and understand,
Microsoft's way of doing things, you'll be ok.

Don't be afraid of it.

Yeah I found it quite average compared to the other MS tests - I mean, it WAS harder than the 217 but thats not really saying much!

I wouldn't say its much, if any, harder than the other tests. Its like everyone says, know the material and you will have no problems

It's not hard if you know the topic. For that matter all Microsoft tests are
easy if you know your stuff. But comparatively speaking 216 is more
challenging than 210, 215, and 217. That says more about the ease of 210,
215, and 217 than it does about the difficulty of 216.

216 isn't the beast they make it out to be.
i found it much the same as some of the other exams.
i think the problem may be in the fact that it is more industry standard
than MS focused.
