    What year? They did that from Feb-Aug 2005. I don't see any second shot offers on Microsoft's web site now. If it's a phishing scam it's brand new.

    what is Microsoft Learning IT Professional? would that be the normal mcp exams or is that the new gen ones?

    Is this applicable to all MS exams that u can manage to take during that time period or for only 1 exam per person? Also, another question... If I buy a Microsoft exam voucher at a discounted price for my first exam, can I still use this second shot offer?

    So Between today and June 30th I can schedule/take an MS exam, and if I fail I am eligible for a free re-take provided I registered for it? This is great, I got to hurry up and pass Net+ so I can start to study for 70-270…

    I signed up through prometric and I think I used the voucher code. Is there anything in the confirmation email or anything that tells you if the accepted your code?

    i booked an exam yesterday (by phone) and gave them the code i got from registering for the promotion at the MS website.
    basically if i fail, i call them and book another sit for free.
    it doesn't mention anything about it though in the email.

    Promotion code. I haven't tried voucher codes, since this is a promo being run by MSFT

    I am about a month away from taking my Security+. I am just wondering if I should ditch that effort and start working on my MS exams or finish the Security+ first. Thoughts?
