Planning for Visual Studio 2008 MCPD certification

I would like to get MCPD certification. Looked at the site http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcpd/vstudio/2008/default.mspx
I can either go for 1) MCPD: Windows Developer 3.5 or 2) MCPD: ASP.NET Developer 3.5 or 3) MCPD: Enterprise Application Developer 3.5

One noteworthy resource is the msdn blog of developer certification planner. http://blogs.msdn.com/gerryo/

Now, suppose, I want to go for 2) MCPD: ASP.NET Developer 3.5, I first need to complete MCTS: .NET Framework 3.5, ASP.NET Applications (two exams), which are:
1) Exam 70-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework, Application Development Foundation http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/70-536.mspx

2) Exam 70-562: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, ASP.NET Application Development http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/70-562.mspx (This exam is in development. It is expected to be released in August 2008)

Please Wish me luck! (to stay motivated to prepare & to actually go for the exam!)

Here goes the study resources...
