Notes:
  • It seems that MCBMSP (MS Cert. Business Mgmt. Solutions Professional) is a flavor of MCITP (MS Cert. IT Professional).  I believe the broadest credential for this is MCP (MS Cert. Professional).
  • After the first exam toward MCBMSP, you become an MCBMSS (MS Cert. Business Mgmt. Solutions Specialist).  The broadest credential for this is MCTS (MS Cert. Technology Specialist) - so you'd put MCTS on your business card, not MCBMSS. That good - 6 characters is a bit steep!
Update 1/6/10: Passed MB6-819.  86%  This was my first MS exam and I'm impressed that it was fair and balanced - not too easy, not too hard.  They give you an overall score, and also a score in each topic area.  I actually did worse on the more basic topics.

Update 12/6/10: Passed MB6-821 (AX 2009 MorphX Solution Development).  I think Financials (MB6-818) will be next.

Update 1/11/11: Passed MB6-818 (AX 2009 Financials)  Next up: MB6-820 (Install/Config) which is looking pretty short!
