Confusing between 073 and 070 exams

Question
-
Hi, currently I am study master degree in software engineering and I plan to take exams to earn MCPD certificate (Web Developer 4 on Visual Studio 2010)
My question is what is the different between 073 (IT Academy) and 070 (Normal) exams?
For example, one of my require exam is
070-515 : Web Applications Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4
and there is
073-515 : Web Applications Development with Microsoft .NET Framework 4
It's the same subject but only different I saw is the price.
If I take 073 exams, will I be able to acquire MCPD certificate that require 070 exams in the same subject?
Thanks in advance.Thursday, June 14, 2012 7:03 AM

IT Academy exams can only be booked using a voucher supplied by organisations (Schools, Universities etc) participating in the Microsoft IT Academy program. There's no difference between 073 and 070 exams apart from the cost.
