I asked this on a different board a week or so ago, but I think this is a more appropriate place to do it.

Someone said that to pass the Win 7 MCDST upgrade exam, you should use the books from the 70-680 and 70-685.

I was thinking about this the other night: Aside from the 2 exams, are there any disadvantages to doing 70-680 and 70-685, over the upgrade exam, as if you have to buy the books / do the course, you might as well get two certificates for it? Or is the upgrade exam much easier or less in-depth than the two seperate exams?

As I thought, 70-682 is a 50% split of the questions from 680 and 685. I don't see any disadvantage in doing both - you gain an extra cert in an MCTS for a start. You will still need to buy both books and learn as if you were doing two seperate exams.

 

Thanks! Answers it perfectly.
