Passed 70-515, 70-516 and 70-519
Back in April I participated in three 'beta' exams for Microsoft:
These exams have just been publicly released, and I just found out I passed all three! As a result I can now add the following certifications to my list:
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
Microsoft Certified Professional Developer
- 70-515 TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 4, Web Applications Development
- 70-516 TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 4, Accessing Data with ADO.NET
- 70-519 Pro: Designing and Developing Web Applications Using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
These exams have just been publicly released, and I just found out I passed all three! As a result I can now add the following certifications to my list:
Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
- .NET Framework 4, Web Applications
- .NET Framework 4, Data Access with ADO.NET

Congrats!
Don't you actually need 70-513 as well for the MCPD?
I wasn't sure about this myself as the requirements are a bit ambiguous.
The fact that my transcript says I now have MCPD for this makes me think they probably mean you need ONE of the MCTS certifications instead of ALL of them.
This is then similar to the MCPD 3.5.
Some clarification on Microsoft's part would be useful for potential candidates.

Congratulations! I'm studying for the 70-515 exam. Do you have any tips on any areas to focus on? Thanks
Hi Anonymous,
your best bet is to have a good understanding of <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-515#tab2>all the stuff</a> they mention that it will cover. Can't be more specific than that!

Congratulations mate. I would really like to sit for the 70-519 exam. Any resources, notes, guides or sample questions please? Thanks in advance.
Hi David,
Can you please guide me where can I buy cheap ebooks/books for Microsoft certification in Australia (I am talking about .net 4.0 exams, I can torrent 3.5 easily but not able to find 4.0 ones)
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi Nimesh,
not sure if there's much out for the 4.0 exams yet as they've just been released.
Instead of buying books, I'd recommend using the technology and become familiar with it by using it.
sorry,

Hi David,
Can you please help me to find material kits for 70 513 and 70 515 ???
Hi David,
Do you do your exams online or is there an exam centre near you? Which city are you in? Basically I'm having trouble finding an exam centre in Melbourne.
Hi Stuart,
you have to go to a Prometric Test Centre, you can't do them online.
There are a number of centres listed for Victoria, but not sure how convenient they are for you.
I'm in Adelaide and we only have 3 centres. At least Academy IT now have their new centre in the CBD which is good.
