It has taken me some time since I did my first two exams (Web Application & Windows Application) around the same time last year. Since Microsoft is planning to Restructure their whole exams I wanted to be on the safer side of the things by finishing the rest of the exams quickly. Please find more details on the proposed MS Examination changes here.

So the Good news is that I got through the Web Services Exam today and am hoping to finish of 70-229 in this month as well.
