It2b Microsoft hasn't updated their site with this yet. The tests for MCITP:EA still show 70-640 http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en...rver.aspx#tab3 Microsoft Learning: Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) Does anyone have a link to Micorosoft stating this? I'm studying for 70-640 now and bought the MS Press Core pack. I hope that will still prepare me for the new version, if that's really what they are doing. | ||

The 83-xxx exams are lab-based; the content is the same between the exams. I believe they're just doing test-runs in select areas at the moment. __________________ ''=~('(?{'.('[-@.^~'^'+_)@*^').'"'.('@.&@-@@<@~$@^~.@^_'^')@@/^)%[%^@/*^@%*}').',$/})') | ||

According to an article on MS Learning the 83-640 is the ONLY exam available now for English exam takers. If you load up your prometric you can't book 70-640 in English anymore. | ||

I believe it's a move towards increasing the integrity of the exams and making sure people can actually perform the tasks and not just dump some questions. I would wager that these types of exams will become more common as time goes on. __________________ ''=~('(?{'.('[-@.^~'^'+_)@*^').'"'.('@.&@-@@<@~$@^~.@^_'^')@@/^)%[%^@/*^@%*}').',$/})') | ||

It would be nice if Microsoft updated the list of required exams on their website instead of having to hear it through the grapevine. Last edited by it2b; 08-27-2009 at 12:43 PM. | |||

Wow, I think this is a really good thing, since I think MS certs especially have always had this "paper-cert" stigma attached to them. Me no likey the $199 price on Trancender's site for this new one though.... | ||
