I think 70-315, 70-316 & 70-320 is a valid combination. As I think, to be an
MCAD, 70-320 is compulsory to pass.
But you can choose either of 70-315 or 70-316. And what about the third one
? You can choose 70-229.
So, it means 70-320, 70-316 & 70-229 is a valid combination. Also, 70-320,
70-315 & 70-229 is valid too.
So I think all the below combinations are valid.
a) 1. 70-310 or 70-320 (must have)
2. 70-306 or 70-316
3. 70-305 or 70-315
b) 1. 70-310 or 70-320 (must have)
2. 70-306 or 70-316
3. 70-229 or other elective exams(exclude 70-305 & 70-315)
c) 1. 70-310 or 70-320 (must have)
2. 70-305 or 70-315
3. 70-229 or other elective exams(exclude 70-306 & 70-316)
I will probably take 70-320 next week. I don't know if my assertion is
right. But I will let you know if it really works ASAP.
