    No. Just passing 70-513, all by itself, wil give you the certification "MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Service Communication Applications."

    See "Credit towards certification" in http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-513&locale=en-us. Quote: "When you pass Exam 70-513: TS: Windows Communication Foundation Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4, you complete the requirements for the following certification(s): MCTS: .NET Framework 4, Service Communication Applications."

    As Alberto stated, there is no pre-requisite for sitting this exam.  That said, Microsoft does state:

    Audience Profile

    The candidate works on a team in a development environment that uses Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 to build distributed applications.  The candidate should have at least one year of experience developing Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)–based applications, including at least six months of experience with .NET Framework 4.

    The candidate should also be able to demonstrate the following:

    • A solid understanding of WCF in the context of the .NET Framework 4 solution stack
    • Experience creating service model elements
    • Experience using WCF to support open and .NET communication

    • Experience using Visual Studio tools, tracing tools, SvcUtil, WCF performance monitoring, and IIS/WAS for hosting services
    • Experience securing WCF applications
    • A solid understanding of concurrency
