    I have just recently come across the 55% off (72-) exams and was curious what purpose those exams actually serve. I have looked all over the Internet for answer and couldn't even locate WHAT is tested in some of them, let alone what they are applicable towards. I have an interest in the MCDST and see on the student certification site that I can take 72-271,272,620,621,622,623 under said discount. But I have no idea what that would accomplish and need some clarification. Mainly, what are these exams, how do they apply to a certification (if they are applicable at all), why I should/should not take these over the standard certification exams (aside from the discount). I appreciate the assistance in this matter and hope you all can provide some clarity for me.

    Hi,

    I believe they are the same as the 70- version just the Academic versions.

    70- or 72- or for that matter 71- (beta) does not show on your transcript, so if you are a student you can save money by taking the 72- exam.

    kind Regards,

    Ozzy Geoff

    If you are student you can save more than 55% of your Microsoft Certification.

    For instance, The exam 70-516 TS: Accessing Data with Microsoft .NET Framework 4, cost normally $125 vs the student price is only $60 bucks!.

    To apply this student discount, you have to enter the 72 code instead of the 70 code of the exam. this is the identifier for this discount 72-516 for 70-516. Both are the same, in content and quality, the only difference is the price. you can use 70-516 or 72-516 as prerequisite of MCPD exam. There is not any MCPD student discount version at least for 70-519 Web Developer.

    It the same exam but different price.
