Old certification track vs new certification track.

I need to take one more test to complete my MCAD certification. Right before
I took my last exam I got sent over seas by the military and have been gone a
year. Since then VS 2005 has been delivered and I understand the tests have
changed. My question is do I have to retake the two exams I have completed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You do not have to retake the two exams. You can complete the MCAD
certification with the VS 2003 exams and then updgrade to MCPD: Web Developer
or MCPD: Windows Developer (new certs for VS 2005) by taking the appropriate
exam (70-551 or 70-552). Hope this helps. Good luck with your MCAD prep.
