Awesome! Thanks! School does have it's advantages!

72-680 here I come!

I was going to use my school ID to get the $60 exams, but this is definitely a better deal. April 5th. Time to move my studies from the beast to Windows 7!

I think Microsoft and CompTIA became the baseline and from there as you get more experience you will support other technology which have certifications as well.

Keep in mind when you go to take the exam, you have to show your school ID.

We'll i'm not enrolled in school at the moment since I got my A.A.S. last year, attending community college.

The only "ID" I got from them was a library card, which expired in 2010.

So i'm kind of debating on whether or not I should go for the voucher.

On one hand, I figure since they are giving them out like candy on halloween, so what if I'm one year too old.
Also it sounds like some people plan on going to the same house with different costumes. Which is just as bad as what I'm considering.

On the other, it's dishonest and I might get caught.

My undergrad Uni didn't put an expiration date on my ID... now I just hope I don't age so much that they don't believe it is me... It has been six years since that picture was taken. Anyhow, I have take several 072 series exams and I have never been asked for a Uni ID... UMUC has a printable library card... I wonder if that would count.

EDIT: Trying to get my undergrad Uni to re-enable my email account or give me an alumni account so I can get another voucher.
