MCP interested in certification upgrade (Please Help)

[Shubhajyoti Ghosh]

Hi,
I want to complete my MCAD and then want to upgrade to MCPD after pass
exam no (70-551, 70-552, 70-529 and 70-549 ).

Currently I am facing a problem that how to complete my MCAD
certification ?. Because I already passed exam no (70-315 and 70-320)
now I want to pass one Elective exam, but the problem is that as I say
here (url:http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/
mcad.aspx#tab2) almost all the exam status "retired" except
(70-235, 70-431 and 74-135) this three exam. So I want to know if I
pass any one of those three exam, will I complete my MCAD
certification ?
and then upgrade to MCPD as I want !

I already have a voucher (Expire Date: Jan 21, 2010). So I want to
pass any one the elective exam as soon as possible.

This is very urgent for me. Waiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance,

That's what it says.

FWIW.. I'd suggest the 70-431, as both the -235 and -135 are based on
out-of-date versions of BizTalk Server, and BizTalk is a very 'niche'
deployment environment. Your MCAD will be much more valuable with an
MCTS:SQL Server to go with it.
