About 70-640

This Technology Specialist (TS) exam, Exam 70-640: TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring, became available in March 2008. This exam is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese [Simplified], French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish.

The difference between 70-640 and 83-640

• 83-640 will gradually replace 70-640: MCTS: Windows Server 2008, Active Directory Configuration, in 2009. The study objectives are the same for both exams; the content has not changed, just the format.
• The lab-based exam was beta tested as the 70-113 pilot.
• Microsoft is using the 83-### numbering scheme to distinguish lab-based exams from the traditional multiple-choice and interactive item-type exams (70-###) and the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist simulation-type exams (77-###).
• To date, 83-640 has only been rolled out in three countries: Ireland, Singapore, and Canada. There is no word yet on when it will be released in the rest of the world.
• In areas where 83-640 hasn't been released, test-takers will take 70-640. Both versions count equally toward certification.
• The lab-based exam also includes traditional multiple-choice item types. Microsoft does not plan to discontinue that type of question at this time, since some points are better tested in a question/answer format than by demonstrating a technique.
