Maybe you can find your info here, on the Microsoft Partner site: https://partner.microsoft.com/40012663
you can click the exams and see in the "skills measured" tab what topics are covered for that exam. In the "Preperation Materials" tab you can find out if any resources have been released (books, courses, online,...)
hope this helps!

Hi,
Nothing to worry on the Exam side. As you will be having an option of attempting n number of times. It is good that you try the exam after having a good study. You will get passed easily.
I have been completed many Sales exam for my company's silver/gold certifications.
Cheers
