    My last contact with Microsoft by email @ mcphelp@microsoft.com :

    1- My Email
    Please !

    Can someone help me about the 71-621 and 71-623 bêta exam I took in december
    2006, and next when in april 2007?
    I called my Microsoft regional service on 0800.90.60.60, but they told to ask
    Prometric about my test, when I called Prometric, they told me t call Microsoft,
    when I called Back Microsoft, they told me to wait two week.
    Next, after being waiting, I sent you two email @ mcphelp@microsoft.com.
    Next you answered me that I should wait a week again.....

    NOW, CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A CORRECT INFORMATION ? AND TELL ME WHY SOME PEOPLE GET
    THEIR RESULT, AND SOME NO ?

    Why is it take so long?

    Please just give a valide answer.

    Best regards.


    2- The Answer from Microsoft

    Dear Kyrikaze,

    Thank you for your e-mail regarding exam 71-621 and 71-623.

    We value your time and it would be our pleasure to assist you. However your profile doesn't show up these two exams till now in our database so we would request you to please send us the scanned copy of your reports which you would have received after taking the beta exams at the testing center. Once we will receive that we will forward your request for your results.

    If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know. Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

    3- My last email:

    Hello,

    For your information, when you take a Beta exam you don't have a reports
    printed at the end of the exam.
    You only get a message on the screen that it saying Prometric will send
    our test to Microsoft to be scored.
    Those exam appear in my Prometric Transcript, so you can contac them to
    know more about this matter.

    Best regards

    There's a reply on Trika's bloggs regarding most of the issues.

    Vista transcript woes: the latest
    Per this post, it is a known issue that not all of the Vista exams are adding up to the right credentials on your transcripts. First, we know that is really, really lame and I want to apologize, again, for the slow turn on updating this. Second, I've been told that a fix is in the works and your transcripts should, if all goes according to plan, be updated by Friday, including:

    MCDST+621 = MCTS: Vista AND MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician
    620 = MCTS: Vista
    620+622 = MCITP: Enterprise Support Technician
    620 = core client elective for MCSA 2003, MCSE 2003
    I bet a lot of you can relate to this: I have to be honest with you, it's getting pretty irritating to be told "Yes it is a problem and we are working on it" (sounds like a cell phone commercial, right?) and then get left in an informational black hole regarding the upgraded cert. Probably a bit extreme, but it sort of outlines how most of us who comment on your blog feel. All I'm saying is a little more information on a fairly regular basis would be nice. Well, that and actually having the certifications we've earned actually put on our transcripts. and I think that is reasonable feedback. Thanks for your patience. I'll look forward to hearing from you on Friday.

    That fix should resolve some problem about those who have only a part of credential on their MS Transcript, but what about people like me? who have a status "TESTED" in their Prometric Transcript and a MS Transcript Blank? icon_rolleyes.gif

    After that fix, will I be able to have a Prometric Transcript Updated with Failed or Passed status ? icon_confused.gif:

    I don't know... I would assume that after Friday, if nothing is sorted for you, you'll have to get the big guns out :)

    Hi all

    I took the 71-621 on January 5th, and until now I don't have my grade...

    I've acessed the VUE website and the exam status is "taken", but I didn't receive any emails reporting anything.. icon_rolleyes.gif

    If I did not pass in the exam, the status on VUE must be "Failed" or something like this, right?

    Did anyone receive your score yet???

    Thx!!!

    I got a call from MS today to inform me that they corrected the problem on my account and that it now shows MCITP on my transcript, which I already knew from the 8th. And when I questioned them about the MCTS status, they first said that I didn't qualify for it (even though I took the 621 exam), it was only after I told them the web address of trika, actually showed them her post, then after about 6 or 7 minutes on hold they came back to me saying that I was right and they'll look into this for me.

    The lady on the MCP helpdesk was very nice and helpful, but I don't think that infomation is filtering down the chain properly regarding the new certs.

    Trika Updated this post 2 days ago http://blogs.msdn.com/trika/archive/2007/05/31/update-beta-scoress-transcript-updates-for-vista.aspx

    Now There is some new informations:

    UPDATE JUNE 12, 2007: We received the rescore forms from our psychomatrician (Sp??) this morning. We will process those (I dont know what she is doing, but something) by end of day tomorrow (Thursday) and then we'll send our scoring models to Pearson VUE and Prometric, for them to apply to your results. Tomorrow morning, Thursday, I should get an estimate of how long that process will take--which should tell us when you will be getting your results from Pearson VUE and Prometric. I will make updates to this post to let you know what I know about the status of this.

    Last News posted yesterday as a comment by Trika on his Blog.

    I just talked to our database owner and here is what he said: the drop yesterday happened to refresh everyone's transcript with the correct business rules. Because the MCITP is dependant on the MCTS as a prerequisite, it might not have been caught in last night's drop, as it was looking for the MCTS. The drop tonight should go through and look for the MCTS and add the MCITP. This is what I heard, in any case. If, by Monday a.m., your transcript is not up to date, please send me an e-mail with your MCP ID, exam(s) you took, and what is showing on your transcript. I'll pass those on to our db team so they can get to the bottom of it. But hopefully it will be updated in tonight's run.

    Source: http://blogs.msdn.com/trika/archive/2007/06/11/vista-transcript-woes-the-latest.aspx

    So I'll be waitin until Monday, and next send him my MCP ID if nothing happen, I advice you to do the same.

    Trika's Blog have been updated today !

    UPDATE JUNE 22, 2007: The psychometrician info is still in our hands and has not gone to the exam delivery partners to process yet; that means scoring is still a few weeks out (exam delivery partners estimated 5-10 days to process your scores). We are frustrated, too (guess, what, me in particular); in the meantime you can provide feedback here or to your RSC, because this is really bad.<edited 6/22>

    New update:

    Update June 25, 2007: For 621, our data has been delivered to VUE and Prometric. They will begin scoring and sending out results to you within 5-10 business days (our system/your transcript will be updated when the feed come back to us from VUE/Prometric). For 622, we are matching up items from the first and second betas so the first can be scored against the results of the second, as promised (different items than used on 621, which was an upgrade exam) so results for 622 will be a few days behind 621.

    Nothing about the 71-623 icon_confused.gif:

    Last Update from Trika's Blog :D

    Update June 26, 2007: As of today, 622 data has been delivered to VUE and Prometric, too. In theory, they need 5 business days to process before they start sending out your results and our database is updated. In earlier, less cynical days I would have told you to expect your results to go from TAKEN to either PASS or FAIL on Monday of next week for 621 and Wednesday of next week for 622. But, I'm a wizened old skeptic now and instead of promising a date I'll just say look for an update here on Thursday June 28 after our meeting with VUE and Prometric; one of our discussion items will be the status of your results and I will let you know what I hear.

    REMINDER: If you took the first beta of 621 or 622 you are eligible to get a voucher to use on any 70-62X exam. We did this because we are scoring first beta takers using the final scoring model (which includes addtional components) and therefore a passing score will be harder to obtain--the free voucher is some 'insurance' that if you didn't pass the beta you can take it in its released form on us. The other reason we issued vouchers was because we wanted to do something nice to make up for what a headache that was for those of you who participated. Again, to get your voucher you need to contact your Regional Service Center and they will look up your name and MCP ID on a list of registrants from 71-621 and 71-622 FIRST RUN betas and assign a voucher code to you.
