Microsoft exam booster pack

Microsoft Booster Pack: Certification exam + 4 retakes

5 exams (has to be the same exam) for $200 or £168

I'm using it for 70-412 It started a few days ago and runs until August. I'm from the UK and when you add VAT it comes to £118 for the exam... so its and extra £50 for four retires.



Thanks,
The Scotch Egg.

Sounds Cool to me !

Interesting, I guess that's the replacement for the free "second-shot" offer they were running until January. I'd almost feel disappointed if I paid extra for the retakes and then passed first time.

I'm a bit uneasy about Microsoft implicitly saying it's normal to take an exam five times before passing, and the effect it could have on the public credibility of their certifications, but I made heavy use of the second-shot offer, so I can't really criticise.

Thanks Scotch Egg, might be doing this track depending on work so great to know this is available, cheers!

Why are you doing 70-412 instead of 74-409? Just wondering.

Hi TacoRocket,

My understanding was 70-412 was the next logical step from 70-411. I was aware that you can do other exams to gain MCSA, just never looked into it. I'll probably go,

410 > 411 > 412

413 > 414 for MCSE.

I was told 70-412 was a bit of a beast compared to 74-409 so I'd personally attempt the harder exam. Although the virtualization exam looks cool.

I plan on buying this boot package this weekend. I'm getting into studying once again just reviewing books and watching some videos. Need to do a little more lab but readying is not my strongest point hahaha

Just bought a few myself. Great deal. Only a few more days to take advantage of this...

I really want to buy this but so nervous :P But for $600 not bad if you got the time to study.

Do you figure we're not going to see another Second Shot offer until the 6 month period from August 31 is over? For some reason I thought this whole thing, including when you had to write the test, was over at the end of this month, I reckoned I'd study until the next one came out in a couple of months or so and write right away then. I wonder if I can convince my boss to buy a few of them (work pays for all material and test fees)

Piers

Boss cleared me for 1, 70-698 will have to wait until the next deal

Looks like they fooled all of us. They just extended this till Sept. 30th. I bought mine yesterday so I wouldn't miss the deadline. Would have liked the extra 30 days I would have got if I knew they were going to extend it. Knowing MS they will extend it at the end of September to. But good news for anyone looking to still jump on this deal.

Louie1277

Well i bought mine about 2 weeks ago thought the same thing. I really didn't want to take a chance and miss it.

alfred06

it sucks I just bought 2 on the 31st. If I knew they were extending this, wouldve got the other at the end of Sept.

I got this same booster pack! It also came with Measureup practice test. I got it from Discount IT Certification Exam Voucher for CompTIA and Microsoft I'm using it for 70-680. Definitely a huge plus with these crazy exams! and how microsoft wants you to answer it the "microsoft" way.

twodogs62

Wow, did not see them extending.
i bought one as I want to concentrate on the 70-410.
this is good as I might grab another one.

twodogs62

The practice test in the other offer is 180 days!
So, there may be more of these offers out there.

I didn't know there was other site with the practice test... Share the wealth on the practice test... I have to really start getting more time in since my exam is at the end of the month...

alfred06

yup thats a way better site to purchase booster pack Kuvuli21.

CertifiedMonkey

That's great news! I was going to buy a couple on the 31st but couldn't afford it. This is awesome!!

Micronewb

Dam, I bought them on the 31st, would of rather waited for Sep 31! Wonder if there's a money back time frame.

xrilek

Got a pack including the practice test for 70-410.
I already failed the exam once early this year but I still remember some of the questions and the difficulty level.
I started using the practice test and I realized that most of the questions are way harder than the actual exam and even more confusing.
Anyone else has the same thoughts??

knownhero

Just brought the booster pack with 4 retakes and practise test. Mindhubs offer give it you for 30 days, but the link to discount IT certs give you the tests for 180.

Mindhub seems to have a price matching scheme. Going to ask them if they'll match the 180 dyas
