Achieved MCTS in Web !!

Yes, this monday I’ve cleared 70-528 following 70-536 to get MCTS in Web Applications. I was planning this exam for the past 2 years, but every time i get some excuse. But this time I’ve decided to achieve it without delay. I manage to get decent score around 820 and 875 ( 700 is the pass mark, max 1000). I gave my exam in NIIT Prometric center, Residency road branch. { Note : NIIT dont have parking, Carry 2 original ID proof along with xerox copy }
