I have two questions. If I do "Web Developer 4 on Visual Studio 2010" is that the only tests I need for an MCPD or do I need to do All three sections i.e(Windows, Web, and Azure)? To my understanding I only need to do one of the paths.

Second question. Is the list of tests in the recommended order for taking them?

i.e(70-515, 70-513, 70-516, 70-519) To my understanding it is the recommended sequence.

Thank You for your help.

For the MCPD Web Developer on .NET 4 you only(!) need 4 exams which you have listed. You do not need to complete the requirements for the MCPD Windows or Azure (tho you do need to complete the requirements that are covered in both such as 70-511 and 70-516)

There is no defined order to do them in, as its the combination of the exams not the order that gives you the certification. Usually I would recommend that you start with the exam topic that you are most comfortable in. If you are a WCF type of person then by all means start with 70-513.

Now if you wanted for example to complete the MCPD Azure as well as the MCPD Web, you would only be required to take 70-583 as you would have completed the other requirement exams as part of the MCPD Web .NET 4
