Thanks for sharing, a very interesting development. I'd be interested to see how popular this is going forward, could this be the way forward for testing?

I would look for it to be that way, It looks like its currently in Beta in the US. I didn't find that out until I kept reading all of the info on the website. Very cool though.

Yeah, I just saw the message, myself.

Not much on the current list that interests me, but this may shed some light on the decision to move from Prometric back to VUE.

Shdwmage

In addition to the fact that PearsonVue schedules the test while being integrated to the Microsoft portal.

it is good, sometimes we delay exams because of work schedule.

Could this affect the value of Windows7/8 MCSA tracks? Or if the 2nd half of Win7 (70-685) were to stay off the list would it retain value?

powerfool

If I could get an exam scheduled right now, I would take the Exchange 2013 exams today... but they aren't my biggest priority, so I am planning the 417, but I cannot find a convenient opening to sit it.

I got that e-mail as well a couple of days ago

Very interesting indeed. Although the beta phase does not have any of the exams I am interested in taking right now

Awesome. Now I can work AND take tests in my underwear.

Thanks, going to keep this in mind as I still have 98-364 left and maybe another @ WGU. I just moved to the largest city that I've ever lived in by a long shot, yet the testing centers are further away than they've ever been, so this would help.
