when you register for the retake you put in the codes comeback or secondchance

LOkrasa

Does this apply to all exams or just the CCNA?

nicklauscombs

The comeback was originally for people who had let their Certification expire -- but the web page has changed to make it sound like the secondchance now.

Wait...

So I just tried to register for the exam, thinking you put the code in the first time. You have to actually fail it once, then put the code in when you register again?

Anyone know how long this is valid? Even if that's the case, I'll just register before whenever it expires. If I fail, just register again right away.

Both links say

must be scheduled and taken between April 15, 2008 and October 15, 2008, to qualify for this special promotion

.

So schedule your comeback/secondchance on or before October 15th.

_maurice

Yes I have. I didn't pass the ICND2, used the COMEBACK promotion code during the 2nd exam registration process, and it didn't charge me at all.

Oh and I passed the 2nd time.

ive not heard of anyone trying this yet but see no reason why you cant.......
there's certainly no mention of any restrictions

keep us updated to your progress....

nicklauscombs

someone mentioned that it is good to use multiple times (and they had tried it already)
each time you pay for an exam you get a free retake

In a row?

If that were the case, I'd be taking Cisco exams once a day just for the heck of it so that I can get over being nervous about the time clock...

Are you saying you can...

You take the exam and fail

Use secondchance for free exam

fail with secondchance

use promo code to get another free retake?

dynamik

You can use it once for each exam you pay for.

No, but you could pay for that 3rd try and then fail it and get the 4th one free! what a deal

No, I used it on ONT, BSCI and ISCW. Passed the BCMSN the first go around.

I basically used to find out what my weaknesses were and see how I would be on time management. Also having a deadline to work with really motivates me to actually sit down and study. If I don't have that deadline I procrastinate like you wouldn't believe and would probably puss it off over and over.

I have not tried it on the same test over and over though. I have just used to on three separate tests.

Fair enough, I can't be expected to remember everything...
