I plan to get Certified on Sitecore 9.0 very soon.  On the [Sitecore® 9.0 Certified Platform Associate Developer Exam Study Guide][1] page it mentions this:

> The Sitecore Certification Program includes two levels, the **Sitecore
> Certified Associate** and the **Sitecore Certified Professional**.

Yet, when I go to register for an exam, I only see a **Sitecore® 8.2 Professional Developer** exam for Sitecore 8.2 and a **Sitecore® 9.0 Certified Platform Associate Developer** for Sitecore 9.0.  What is the difference between the two?  Why no "Professional" exam for 9.0?  

This is kind of confusing.  If I take the 9.0 Associate Developer exam and pass, can I say I'm a Sitecore Certified Professional?  Or do I need to also take the Sitecore 8.2 Professional Developer exam too?
