70-646 MCITP: SA path qeustion

I was on microsofts webpage looking at the MCITP exams and it listed:

70-646

Below that it said Prerquisites

70-640
70-642

Does that mean I have to do 640 and 642 before i take 646? As I was going to take 646 first since I have a the videos for that test given to me from a friend. Also will I recieve MCTS Cert from Passing just 70-646?

You can take them in any order. You will only get the MCITP : SA cred only after you have passed all 3 exams. You will get two MCTS's after the 640 and 642.

Do i at least get an MCP from the 70-646 test? Or at least something that would be useful to a resume? It seems quite odd in my opinion that you wouldn't get anything out of taking what seems to be the core part of windows server 2008.

The 646 won't earn you an MCTS, but you will earn an MCTS or 2 for the 640 and 642. The 646 is just for your completion of the MCITP:SA.

This is correct. You can take the exams in any order, but you do not get the Pro title until you have completed the pre-reqs.

Only the MCTS exams will give you a certification title for the completion of a single test.
