Microsoft Certification - 072 prefix exams

The_B_Man

Hi,
As a student I get to sit a free exam in the next month for one of these Microsft Certs, as long as they have the prefix 072, apparently the same as 070 but they changed the name so students could do them free.

Can anyone, who is familiar with them, point me out a good one to do as a budding developer? I know theres loads on Exchange and Support but theres a few dev ones, like Visual Studio Team Foundation Server setup, and Windows Mobile 6.5 (:rolleyes:) as well as some ASP.NET stuff.

Its free so I said I may as well do it. theres a list of them here on page 3: 072 exams

Anyway, thanks for the help.
Cheers.

Definately a few non-development related...


FYI, any other students on here, you can get one of these for free as well, as long as u take it before the end of June.

I was looking at these as well recently. Although I was looking at the MS site itself I think and there was some weird thing about some of the exams. It seemed to suggest they weren't available or something. Can't remember what it was now but found it confusing!

072-542 - TS: MS Office SharePoint Server 2007-Application Development would be my recommendation! One of the biggest areas around atm
