We are making sure the exam centers are ready to take registrations and have people sit the exams; I will post the codes (for MCSA/MCSE 2003 use only) here as soon as I get confirmation that everything will work.

Will there be beta-exams 71-648, 71-649 for who didn't attend last Tech-Ed in the US?

Ken Rosen suggested in the MCT cetification newsgroup "if you want a quick update, post a question on Trika's blog."

Taking the 648 & 649 beta exams can earn the charter certs?

"If you have participated before, you will likely receive an invite"

Why is it that always the same people will get an invitation?

I know MCSE should take 649 instead of 648. However, in my past exprience, the upgrade exams will be harder to pass than the normal exams. This time both 648 and 649 are upgrade exams. Will MCSA 648 easier to pass than the MCSE 649? Imagine that, MCSEs taking the beta will generally getting higher scores then MCSAs. Than means, if similar statistic method is used to set the bars for 648 and 649. The skill level you need to pass 649 will be higher than 648. Do you agree?
