• Take the exams. At the very least they allow you to do the upgrade path for the MCSE and MCSA in 2012. That saves you one exam for each. That and what's the worst that happens .. you have a few extra certifications? Given that most shops are still looking to converting from 2008 to 2012 (if they are even that far) you should be in good shape. I have my 70-450 and I'm taking my 70-433 Friday. Although in my case I'm taking them mostly just for fun.
