Hows this for irony for you...

I took the betas for 70-446 and 70-445. I managed to fail the MCTS 70-445 but pass the MCITP 70-446. I guess this means that I'll have to actually go and take to 70-445 so that I can pick up both certs because I can't get the MCITP without first getting the MCTS. What a pain.

I managed to fail the 70-445 to. After taking it cancelled my 70-446. Congrats on passing the 446 mrdenny. How did you find them both?

Hard, but I don't do BI on a regular basis.

Hi,

I had taken both beta exams and as similar results I failed the 71-445 but succeeded in 71-446.

As I noted on my blog entry

http://www.kodyaz.com/blogs/software_development_blog/archive/2006/11/30/480.aspx

about the 71-445, data mining questions was holding an important part which I have not found a chance to deal with.

But if I can I would like to complete the BI series exams by taking the 71-445 again

Now I'm regretting cancelling the 446 now. Oh well I guess it will give me something to go for after getting the full MCDBA and then upgrading that.
