Piers wrote: » The upgrade exam from MCDST is 70-682 680 + 685 will be the equivalent of 682 70-680, TS: Windows 7, Configuring—available now 70-685, MCITP: Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician—in development 70-686, MCITP: Windows 7, Desktop Administrator—no indication of a date (ignore the HDI component for the time being) And here's the answer to my question on borntolearn about when the 682 would be available (and if there was a beta version to get for free ) Quote: 70-682 is an upgrade exam so it is created from parts of the exam track. Because the content will have already gone through beta by that point, there isn’t a psychometric need to beta upgrade exams. Once we’ve finished with 685 and determine which bits are used in 682 we can get the prep guide posted. Generally upgrade exams come out roughly 90 days after their component exams have been published. Posted by: J. Seymour [Certification Manager, Microsoft Learning] |
