Second shot extended to June 2008
Absolutely breaking news! Unless you already heard this from someone else, in which case, this is a breaking reminder!
Second shot (the offer that gives you a second chance to pass your exam--free--if you fail it the first time) is available until June 30, 2008.
Originally this was going to end on January 31, but it seems like it is making you guys happy, and helping you take (and pass) exams to get certified, which makes us happy. So, we (Microsoft Learning and Prometric) decided to extend it.
If you are already registered for the offer, I believe you'll get an e-mail explaining that you don't need to re-register--your current registration will be extended so you can use the offer through June. But I'm not quite sure how that all works, so look for that e-mail and don't listen to me.
- If you haven't registered for the offer, you can sign up here. Remember, you have to sign up before you take your first exam
- Here are frequently asked questions you can read. I'm not sure this question is in there... but Windows Server 2008 "first to know" offer can be combined with Second Shot. So, check it out.
Don't mind me, taking the rest of the day off to eat cake.
Your friend,
Trika

Q - How do I register for the initial exam? A - You register for your initial exam through the Prometric Web site or by contacting a Prometric call center or test center. Note - This offer cannot be combined with other promotions. A credit card must be used to schedule your exam appointment. Q - Can other offers or discounts be combined with Second Shot? A - No, Second Shot cannot be combined with any other offer or discount. These two questions listed say you cannot combine it with the 'first to know' Server 2008 offer. Can we or can't we, or has this webpage not been updated?Anonymous

This offer can be combined with one discount. If you use an MCT Discount Voucher like the ones I give out you only use that discount code and it both takes money off the exam and registers for Second Shot.Anonymous

*To be eligible to receive the discount vouchers, students must be in one of your instructor-led training classes on Microsoft products or technologies.Anonymous

Thank you for the (much prompted) birthday wishes, I really loved it. Will and Mee Sow Sorry and Wayne: I recommend you ignore me and listen to the web pages. We are finalizing details of First to Know and I'll let you know when/if that page has been updated. In the meantime, I shouldn't have said anything to confuse the issue. Until further notice, how about this: NO, 2nd shot can not be combined with other offers, as we have consistently said since that offer launched. Again, sorry for getting ahead of myself and when/if that officially gets updated in the official rules I'll post a note about it. Will, yes, I believe 2nd shot is good on Dynamics exams and yes, that has been extended too. Andrew, I don't think we're planning to do anything like the Exam Insurance TechNet offer anytime soon, but I'll pass on your question to our marketing people. Bob, Niall is (as usual) spot on. So, as usual, is Andy.Anonymous

Hey Trika - sorry for the off-topic (the normal topic is "Where's my beta result!!!" right?), but did we ever determine if 70-351 was valid for MCSE Security? The MCSE Security overview page doesn't mention it, although the 70-351 page does mention MCSE Sec...Anonymous
