I am planning on taking my 70-270 in the near future as part of my
progression towards MCSA.
I noticed that this exam appears as a possible requirement under the
electives section for botht eh MCSA and MCSE. I am wondering; If I were to
pass this exam, could I then use that pass towards not only the MCSA but the
MCSE also?

Or would I have to select a different elective as part of the MCSE if I were
to take that?

Thanks,

Shane

A single test, once passed, is good for life and may be used for multiple
certifications as long as it is listed as a requirement, and the certificate
is still current. However, a single test may not be used as multiple
elements for the same certificate, ie. you cannot use 70-620 as both the
client and general elective for MCSE.

So, to answer your question, yes, you may use 70-270 for both MCSA and MCSE.

You'll note that both MCSA and MCSE require 70-290 and 70-291. You'll only
have to pass each of those once as well.
