The paragraph after the MCAD Elective Exams bullet list should read: You may also count as elective one of the four core exams 70-305, 70-306, 70-315, and 70-316. The elective exam must be from the opposite technology as the exam that you counted as core. For example, if you take the exam "Developing and Implementing Windows-based Applications With Visual C# .NET and Visual Studio .NET" (Exam 70-316) as a core exam, you can take either the "Developing and Implementing Web Applications With Visual C# .NET and Visual Studio .NET" (Exam 70-315) or the "Developing and Implementing Web Applications With Visual Basic .NET and Visual Studio .NET" (Exam 70-305) as an elective.
