    Hello,

    I am planning to earn MCSE: Productivity certification but I am a little confused with calendar year word in official page. 

    Official page states to take at least 2 exams from selections in calendar year 2016. As we are in the end of 2016, I wonder if I should wait 2017 to take those exams?

    Following is quote from the official page :

    For 2016, this MCSE certification can be earned as follows:

    Step 1. Earn one of the following Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) certifications:

    Step 2. Pass one of the following elective exams during the 2016 calendar year.

    Hi,

    The site also has this information: "each calendar year, you have the opportunity to earn the certification and to receive an additional entry on your transcript. You do this by passing a unique exam from the list of electives, which demonstrates your continued investment to broaden or deepen your skills in a specific technology area."

    So this looks likes a poor choice of words that MS used, this will continue next year and  an exam you passed this year will still be valid next year.
