I used just the Boson tests and it was a total breeze. But, I also have several years of PIX experience. If you have solid PIX experience it's a walk in the park. If not, you might still be able to pass with just the Boson tests. The only CSS 1 exam that might give you a little trouble (assuming you just do the Boson practice tests) is the IDSPM exam. Otherwise they are pretty easy. Good luck.
