    OK, to start 70-536 will not give you any certification. It will however, let you enter the MCP site. If you pass the 70-563 and another exam like 70-505 you will get a MCTS.

    Yes, anyone with a credit card can take the exam.

    The 70-563 covers both 2.0/3.5 you will be fine.

    You get to select either C# or VB before the exam begins.

     

    I have guides for all the Windows MCPD exams on my site. Let me know if this helps.

    Hi

    Ok firstly I take it that you have passed exam 70-536 at this point?

    To answer your questions.

    Is it compulsary to have the MCTS - YES

    Is it compulsary to have the MCTS BEFORE you do the MCPD exam - NO

    Will I get the MCPD without the MCTS - NO

    To get your MCPD in .NET 2.0 or 3.5 you first need to pick a track for example web development, windows client development or enterprise application development. And then you need to pick which framework you want to target.

    Once you have done that, you then do the exams that make up that MCPD in any order. However, you will not get the MCPD until you have completed the all the neccessary exams. Its the combination NOT the order of the exams that counts.

    I will take the example of doing exams 70-528 and 70-547 which form the MCPD Web Developer on .NET 2.0

    You have exam 70-536 completed.

    Pass exam 70-547 - no cert

    Pass exam 70-528 - MCTS and MCPD because you have completed the requirements for both certs now which is MCTS+70-547

    OR

    Pass exam 70-528 MCTS complete the requirement for the MCTS

    Pass exam 70-547 MCPD again you have completed the requirements for MCPD which is the MCTS+70-547

    Hope that makes sense
