What's New @ MC MCSE:
Testing Center in Beta
Our new free online Testing Center is available in beta for a little while before the official release. Currently, 28 free exams have been added and there are 7 more coming in the next week or so. The 7 to be added are the exams that are listed with 0 questions.

Another addition that should be added within the next week will be the ability to select how many questions you would like to appear on your exam.

You will need to complete the free registration process on our site in order to take an exam. If you are already registered for our forums, then you are registered for the Testing Center. If you find any bugs, we would appreciate it if you report them to use. You can email us or post your bug in our discussion forums.

Contest Results
The remaining prize winners have been confirmed. Orion IV has won the MeasureUp bundle valued at $315. Krusty has been confirmed as the winner of the Train Signal MegaLab Series valued at $119.95.

Honestly, we had a very difficult time giving away these prizes as very few people took the time to meet the requirements. I bring this up so that you know that the next time we launch a contest, your odds of winning might be pretty good.

New Desktop Certification
Microsoft has announced a new certification titled, "Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST)". The new certification requires completing the following 2 exams:

70-271, Supporting Users and Troubleshooting Windows Desktop Operating Systems
70-272, Supporting Users and Troubleshooting Applications on a Windows Desktop Operating System Platform
