I'll at least go for my MCP.
There is no reason not to go for MCSA. You get 5 free vouchers per email. So that means you get 5 shots at 2 tests
I saw three exams that were covered by the voucher. Is there a master list somewhere that I'm missing that has more tests available?
-
Eligible exams: A voucher may be redeemed to take one of the following MCP exams: 71-532 (beta), 70-533, 70-346 or 70-347. This offer does not include Microsoft Technology Associate exams.

You want to take 346 and 347 for MCSA: Office 365

Ok, that is the list I saw. The only one I thought I might have a chance at is 70-347, and it would take some training on my part to get ready. A lot of work.

I signed up.

Oh, in other news, I guess Prometric is no longer going to offer MS tests after December 31, 2014. It'll be Pearson Vue or nothing at that point for all MS tests.

@IRJ , I'm definitely in a better position to do the Office365 tests than the Azure one. I have more recent experience with Azure, but much less of it. My last experience with Office365 was with NTG and that ended in March, and we all know how often Office365 changes things...

If you go through the virtual Academy, you have a good chance of passing those tests by walking in. Office 365 is much easier than Exchange IMO

@IRJ Do you have a link for the virtual academy stuff?

From what I am seeing and reading about these two tests. They are very easy. Remember Microsoft wants as many Office 365 admins out there as possible.
The free Hyper-V test they released earlier this year was also pretty easy

Yeah because Prometric will no longer be doing MS tests
-
This appears to be a great study guide as well.

Make sure you get enough vouchers to take all the tests you want to take. Scott didn't notice that you get one voucher at a time until I pointed it out.
