    Yeah I have booked my 70-284 and 285 but I am going to cancel and reschedule to apply the voucher once I can actually access the website to get a voucher.

    I did it with my 70-292, they seem to announce these right after I book exams icon_sad.gif

    Yup, it's bust at the moment. Suggestion - Do some more studying until it's fixed icon_wink.gif

    Ha! Oh sure NOW it comes back after I just finished all those exams. Well maybe it will motivate me to finish out that 299.

    Pfft. There's still Exchange, SQL, Sharepoint, MCITP upgrades, etc. You're not done by a long shot.

    I'll use this on my future exams if I remember. I'm too lazy to cancel and reschedule 236...

    Good news. :)

    I've never failed an exam when I had the second shot backing me up, and I think the insurance of the free retake is what helps keep my nerves down during the exam.

    When I was in Redmond last Monday they said they were reinstating it for another year since there was such a push for it towards the end of the last one - a lot of people wrote them and took advantage of it - then everyone complained when it went away. :)

    Does this apply to any Microsoft Certification?

    Q. To which exams does the Second Shot offer apply?

    A. The Second Shot offer applies to all IT professional and developer certification exams, and all Microsoft Dynamics exams (all 070 exams). The academic exams (072 exams) do not qualify for this offer.

    I'm excited! Now I can feel a little better when I take my 290 exam. I signed up for it last time but didn't need it with the DST exam.

    Looks like they're still having issues with the site. Some JavaScript object isn't loading properly, so I just get a loading screen that goes on forever. Anyone else seeing the same thing, or am I just nuts?
