70-270 or 72-270 Exam

Forgive my ignorance; but what is the difference between the 70-270 exam and
the 72-270 exam? Do both apply toward MCSA/MCSE?

No such exam as 72-270

72-270, is in effect, the 70-270, 72-XXX merely signifies the exam was
offered at AATC (Authorized Academic Testing Center) reduced exam pricing
and is available only to students or instructors who are enrolled/employed
at an accredited institution. According to Prometric's website, the exams
must be taken at a Thomson Prometric AATC, but even Prometric staff don't
seemed too clued-up about it, if you have trouble ask to speak to the
voucher department. It is only when booking your exam that it has any
significance.

Thank you. I was about to cut and paste a copy of the email I received from
the MSDNAA Software Center.

I was hoping that it wasn't a mistake somewhere.
