I have seen mentioned that this combo is not valid.

The website states it is. Can anyone point me to
anything that would say for sure? I would think the MS
web page would be rather authoritative on the matter, but
with the number of posts I've seen that say that what is
stated on the page in regards to this matter is wrong,
I'm looking for more information.

Thanks in Advance

(Oh, by valid combo, I mean can you take on for core and
one for elective.)

Hi Kaell,

The exam requirements seem to clearly state that this is
fine
(http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mc...requirements.a
sp) and I sure hope they are or I've got a lot more
learning to do! There is some restriction on using the
same exam but in a different language to complete the
electives (306 and 316 for example) as these are
essentially the same exam but using a different language.
Deatils of this can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcad/faq.asp.

Hope this helops and I sure hope I'm right!

Just to clarify, it can be the same language but different technology. So if
you do the Web C# you can do the Windows C# and it will count as 2 credits.

Let me tell you that for MCSD.Net it's valid but for MCAD
it's not. Sad but it's true.

And once again an erroneous conclusion based on incomplete
information stated as the truth, creating confusion in the
ranks. I can only assume that you haven't translated the
entire contents of
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mc...quirements.asp)

There you will find

"If you use Exam 70-305 or 70-315 to satisfy the core exam
requirement, you may use either Exam 70-306 or 70-316 as an
elective.

If you use Exam 70-306 or 70-316 to satisfy the core exam
requirement, you may use either Exam 70-305 or 70-315 as an
elective."

So now you can rejoice - however it does pay to lurk and
learn for a while in a newgroups before you choose to post
(I posted this information just 6 days ago in this very
group) - its OK to post if you are uncertain - but at least
let everybody know that you are unsure and not confuse other
neophytes with false authority.

It is valid for MCAD, too.
I'm MCAD with 315 + 316 + 320.
