New BizTalk 2006 R2 Test (70-241)

If you are pursing your BizTalk certification be aware that a new test more specific to 2006 R2 has been recently released (October) from Microsoft and is now available from Prometric test centers.   I found this out after I scheduled my 70-235 test.  I’m still trying to figure out which one I should take.  70-241 includes the features in 2006 R2 and 70-235 supposedly only includes things up to 2006.  

Judging from the test times listed at Prometric the 70-241 test is shorter in duration;  1 hr 15 min versus the 2 hr 45 min listed for 70-235.  This doesn’t directly mean that it’s easier but it may make for a quicker certification process.
