In answer to your first question, yes, and it is very tough. On the two SharePoint 2010 rotations, as far as I know, nobody passed on the first time through. I am still working on it ;-)

I have written a short article about my experiences at http://www.spdoctor.net/Pages/article.aspx?name=SharePoint 2010 MCM. Many others have also blogged about it. But you will not find much detail in any of the blogs because we are all under NDA.

First you need to get through the interview, which is a challenge in itself, to get on the programme. And you will need the four SharePoint MCP exams, which now must be the 2010 versions.

The preparation is basically to work through the comprehensive pre-reading list, which is available at http://www.dynamicevents.com/upload/MCM-MCA/MCM/SharePoint/MCMSharePointPre-Reads.pdf. This contains scores of links to articles which themselves usually expand into numerous sub-pages. It took me weeks to work through all this. If you can get some practice setting up the more complex SharePoint environments this will help you prepare for the hands-on labs.
