I did it - 2nd shot was a charm 742

Hey when did you use your second shot code... when you first registered for the original exam or after you had failed the first time?

I'm having some trouble explaining this to the exam organizer at my college.... she thinks you use it after the first exam.. and I disagree!

Thanks,
Travis

When I booked mine with Prometric I had to call up and confirm with the code from MS that I'd be eligible for the 2nd shot offer.

How did you find 293? : ?

Compared to 291 - a breeze. Keep in mind I read the entire MS press book and have a home lab to work in. I felt I was very prepared for 293. I had 5 sims on 293 but they weren't that bad. I can't quite remember what they were about though. I am working on 294 now. Whew... Lots of tests. Good luck.

You are supposed to note the offer before taking your 1st test and then note it with the 2nd. However, I am still waiting to see if the 2nd time has been charged to my cc.

Actually after 294 i plan to take the 284 (messaging) then finish with 298 and 285 to get the MSCE:messaging specialization. Once I have all these finished, hopefully by mid-june I may also take the 2 additional test for the security too, but that will be when the relentless push to get these 3 finished ends. I also have two Cisco tests to take in addition to the MS tests.
