Also, having taken the 815/816 exams, 3 hours was kind of overkill for me. Granted I didn't need a lot of time, but in most cases I finished in about an hour.

I'm taking the 819 on 9/26. That will give me a feel for how hard it is
Jeanne Boyarsky wrote:Adrian,
Yes. We were just about done with the 815/16 practice book. Since it hadn't gone to print, we pulled it back and are restructuring it for for the 819. That will come with 3 mock exams for the 819.
Jeanne Boyarsky wrote:Adrian,
The mock exams are online. Just pretend the 815 is an easy mock exam and the816 is a challenging mock exam.

Our complete study guide is geared for the 8198; it just doesn't say so on the cover . The 819 is the 815/816 with a few objectives removed. The book will prepare you very well.

Secondly, the cost of the fee is reduced and its really useful for students like me. Who is not working and have to pay fee on their own pocket. But yes 90 minutes, that means time management needs to be worked strongly.
All the best to everyone and also to me for 1Z0-819

The 819 is cumulative. You still need to know the material on the 815. (Well except for the very easiest stuff, but I bet you didn't spend a long time deciding it was platform independent)
