Hello Friends,

I had passed 70-536 and my status was MCP. Now I have cleared 70-540 but
on its page it states that "Required Exams for MCTS: Windows Mobile 5.0
Applications (One Exam Required)"..but its also written that

Credit toward certification

When you pass the TS: Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 – Application Development
exam, you achieve Microsoft Certified Professional status. You also earn
credit toward the following certification:
• MCTS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Applications

so now.. i am confused..as i already had MCP (0fcourse for .NET 2.0 full
framework).. and now i have cleared this 70-540..what is my credit..do i have
2 MCP credit or one MCP (earlier one) and MCTS(mobile)??

please guide me people.. I am really very confused..

thanks..

The title "Microsoft Certified Professional", in addition to referring to a
collection of certifications on older products, is now also a generic title
that refers to all persons who have passed any one exam in any of the
several and various Microsoft certification programs.

When you passed the 70-536 you completed one of two requirements for one of
three different MCTS certifications:
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web
Applications
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows
Applications
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Distributed
Applications

When you passed the 70-540 you completed one of =one= requirement for a
completely different MCTS certification:•
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 - Application Development


If you were to follow the hyperlinked "Microsoft Certified Professional" in
that cite from the 70-540 page, you'd end up at
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcp/default.mspx

which is the Home Page of the entire Microsoft Certification program.
