Answer 2

All of your questions and more are answered on the MS Learning site - http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/default.aspx

There are generally 2 paths; one for IT Pros (70-667 and 70-668) and one for devs (70-573 and 70-576).

The first for each path is for a Technical Specialist badge, and then the second is for the Pro badge.

If you pass any exams it will get you a unique MCP number which provides a listing of all of your exams. There is a URL and passcode that can be provided to people who need to validate your credentials.

In answer to your questions, there are 4 exams to my knowledge, 2 admin 2 dev (i think) there is also the MOS exam which is an office based exam. You take them at any Prometric exam site (check their website) they are £88 each at the last check but if you book today (yes really) you will get a buy one get one free.

The MCP site lets people verify and you can create a profile to send them too.

min score is 70% for all exams I think or 700 out of 1000
