Opportunity: beta exams for developers

I'm not a developer but I got this invitation to several beta exams for the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) certification, and it says:

PS: We are looking for more and more technical feedback on the exams so feel free to reach out to your user groups and communities and let developers know of this opportunity. Although do note that each exam caps at 750 Beta participants so there is an official upper limit.

Are you a developer? If so, contact me for the code to allow you to sign up for the beta of any or all of the following exams:

If you've never taken a beta exam before, it's just like taking a regular certification exam except that (1) you receive your results several weeks later by mail, and (2) it's really critical for the future success of the exams that you provide thoughtful feedback based on your professional experience.

Do you get credit for passing a beta? YES. Let's say you took Exam 70-548 PRO and are informed that you passed. You would now have one exam completed toward the MCPD certification.

I'd never make it in advertising, putting the 'good stuff' at the bottom. Anyway, everyone who takes one of these beta exams gets a free exam voucher AND is entered in a sweepstakes for one of two Windows Mobile Smartphones and one of 10 Microsoft Laser Desktop 6000 Keyboards. (Sweeptstakes rules to be included with beta code.)

Sorry, offer not available in China, Pakistan and India.
