It looks like some core exams in the new MCSD track are also available as electives. Im confused – which exams are core exams and which are electives?
In the new MCSD track, passing Exam 70-100: Analyzing Requirements and Defining Solution Architectures is required as a core exam for all candidates. Candidates must choose two exams among the desktop applications development exams and the distributed applications development exams to satisfy the other core requirements. The desktop applications development exams and the distributed applications development exams are also available as electives. The same electives are available for both the original MCSD track and the new MCSD track. Please note that some elective exams are scheduled for retirement; see the exam retirement plan for more information.
