recert exam VS virtual academy?

Hi All,

I have recently passed my MCSE messaging and just looking out of interest at the recertification requirement.

I see you can either take an exam or recertify through virtual academy.

Just wondering if anyone can actually think of a reason why you would take the exam instead of taking the virtual academy course?
Exam: you have to pay, if you fail you have to pay to resit, more pressure.
Virtual academy: free, can take the assessments as many times as you need, less pressure as you can do it in your own time/whenever you like.

Seems to me like a no brainer to use virtual academy to recertify

Where do you see that as being an option? I have a MCSE Server Infrastructure and all I see is the option to take the 70-980 exam for which there is seemingly very little information on?

Please advise ASAP. I'll even waive the test fees and the cost of the study materials to do this!
