Student pricing and 72-450 / 70-450

Question

I am looking to sign up for 70-450 on the prometric website. I had wanted to use the student discount from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/student-career/en/us/career-offer.aspx. I couldn't seem to get it to work and then I realized that there is a "72" series that seems to have the student pricing. So now I am wondering if I can just sign up for the 72-450 on the prometric site and that perhaps the microsoft site just needs an update to include the 72-450? Or is the 72-450 listed there for a different use, like you need to be a student at a DreamSpark affiliated institution? My Community college is not a dreamspark institution. Are the 72 series available to all students?

Thanks,

Brent

Answer 1

Exams prefixed with 072 are Academic exams.  These exams are the same as those prefixed with 070 accept they can only be booked using an Academic code.

Details about the Academic program and who is allowed to sit Academic exams can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/training/academic-programs.aspx
