New MCAD to MCTS exams

    Righty for those MCAD certified people out there, there are now 2 new exams available that are upgrades from MCAD to either MCTS Web Applications or MCTS Windows Applications.. All of these are on the 2.0 Framework

    Firstly there is exam 70-558 which is the Windows exam and then there is exam 70-559 which is for Web Applications

    These exams were created to make it easier for MCADs to get up to the 2.0 Framework. What MSL found was that a lot of MCADs were failing the MCPD upgrade exams 70-551 and 70-552 which include the Pro certification which is a design exam. Most people were failing on the Pro part of the exam. Upgrade exams are usually the exams that are normally associated with the certification in just a single exam format. It may be 2 or 3 exams really but you need to pass all sections to get a passing score.

    So they made 2 new exams which deal with only the MCTS and allow the person to get the Pro later.
