I don't think two is too aggressive at all but it depends on what your level of confidence is with ASP.NET. Of course, I take the tests for free and just retook whatever I needed to a couple of weeks later...
536 is an overall .NET framework exam and asks you questions that seemingly have more than one right answer. The right answer often depends on some obscure facet of the question that in most people's minds wouldn't really have any bearing on the problem but to the exam maker makes all of the other answers less than optimal. The ASP.NET stuff is not nearly as difficult but will ask you things like different ways to deploy to IIS, web services, ASP.NET AJAX (which is already deprecating in favor of JQuery) and mobile development. I have a lot of experience with different technologies from working support but a lot of this stuff will be the first time you've seen it. Be sure you can use the ASP.NET debugger. - Matt > > Hatton, don't call it M$ nor ugly...
