Edward, the exam may have changed since I took it, or else someone may have counted each individual action within a “task” as a separate task. For example, being asked to open a document, format a font, save it in a particular way, and perform another special action could be reported as many “tasks” even though on the exam, it counts towards one unit answered. Does this help?

Yep, I just confirmed – MS decided that the only 4.0 exams that will retire on July 31 are the 3.5 upgrade exams: 521, 523, and 536. I have updated our post to reflect that new information. Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy!

Quynh, I’m passing this question on to Josh, our MCPD expert. However, it is very possible that Microsoft changed some exam retirement dates since this article was posted on our blog. As of the most recent info I can find (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/mcpd-certification.aspx#fbid=bFimCn-qjlo), the 3.5 exams are still slated to retire July 31, 2013, but the 4 exams are not showing an expiration date. Thanks for reading!

Hi Ann,
I have checked in Microsoft’s Certification Lifecycle page and also Microsoft retired exam, but can see nothing about exam 70-513, 70-515, 70-516 (MCPD: Web Developer 4 not MCPD: Web Developer). Please give me the reference.
Thanks,

Comment on Customer asks: Is now the time to study for Windows Server 2008 certification, or Server 2012? by blogmistress Ann

blogmistress Ann — Mon, 06 May 2013 13:29:16 +0000

Raju, do you mean you are looking for a practice exam, or do you mean that you are looking for a way to obtain a Windows Server 2012 certification by taking only one exam? I’m afraid there is not a one-exam 2012 certification available from Microsoft. Or do you mean that you only have one exam left in your certification series? I’d be happy to respond after some clarification! Thanks.
