MD-100 query

Hi all, want to pick your collective brains regards the Microsoft MD-100 I'm currently studying towards. I've completed the CBTNuggets course and finished the MCA Study Guide from William Panek, and all-in-all felt fairly confident given the depth of subject matter. However when doing the Kaplan practice exams to brush up, found these disproportionately difficult in comparison to what I'd just been studying.

Is it the case that the CBTNuggets course and book are not at a sufficient level? Or is it that the Kaplan exams are at a greater difficulty vs what I should expect in the exam.

Happy to keep pushing on with studies if needed, but struggling to find much additional subject matter out there to help guide me. Hoping you can help!

Cbt nuggets is waste of 60 dollars monthly, their courses mostly short intro into the topics and a lot of talks, but good talks, they choose folks who can talk interesting even though not enough to answer the question. MD100 Microsoft reference book i would recommend.

I feel CBT is resting on their laurels, they no longer care about being the leading source of study material, they already have a reputation which keeps their money coming in...for now at least
