Hi everybody,

I am, a resident of India, brand new to this certification. After doing MCA,
I have no job experience & working on VS.NET 2002 & .NET Framework 1.0 at
home. My language which I use for server-side programming is VB.NET. Now, I
am looking to earn MCAD through one of the following paths :-

1. Exams 70-310, 70-305, 70-306
2. Exams 70-310, 70-305, 70-229
3. Exams 70-310,70-306, 70-229
4. Exams 70-310, 70-305, 70-431(New)
5. Exams 70-310, 70-306, 70-431(New)

Now, there are the following doubts which are arising in my mind :-

· Are the above said paths for earning MCAD valid?
· Please tell me on the basis of all possible factors that Should I include
exam of back-end SQL SERVER in the course of MCAD? If yes, then which one I
should go for : 70-229 or 70-431? If it is 70-431, considering the usage &
knowledge of VS.net 2002 & .net framework 1.0, Can I properly learn SQL
SERVER 2005 (exam 70-431) or would I have to upgrade?
· On the basis of above discussion, finally what should be the right path
for me acc. to you to be an MCAD in the quickest & easiest way?

Thank you for your time.
