Ok I wanted to ask something to you guys who have done the beta. If i take the beta is it like taking an MS exam? Pass/Fail or is it just for MS to see if they have the right exam content? What im asking is will you be a MCTS in Vista if you pass this?

1) They're sorta like normal exams, except they sometimes have many more questions (depends on the beta).

2) It is Pass/Fail, but you won't get the results immediately - they're sent to you approximately 8 weeks later. And yes, MS is checking to see if they've got good exam content.

3) If you take 71-620 (beta for 70-620 that has already come and gone), you're an MCTS in Vista. I think 71-622 is one of the two exams for whatever the MCDST is becoming.

 

Ok thanks.

But the next question is to become and MCITP dont you need to become a MCTS first?

 

Yes, but it's not as simple as that. Microsoft has made the acronym soup very confusing, especially during this transition time between the old and new certification tracks. I would recommend that you look at Microsoft's Web site for specific answers, because there's not just a single MCTS certification... it's MCTS: insert specialty name. There are currently 8 MCTS certifications, and that's not even counting the new Vista ones!

 

ok thanks mike! i think ill look into it!
