Microsoft Vouchers

Tommy_D

Hey all, I need to buy some MS exam vouchers and I would like to get the ones with a Second Shot just in case...where is a legitimate and safe place that you would recommend to buy these? I can buy them directly from Prometric but they don't seem to have the Second Shot offer.

Hi there,

As far as I'm aware, I don't think Microsoft / Prometric are doing the second shot vouchers at the mo.

If you work for a Microsoft Partner (or know a Partner Company), you can buy an exam pack here:
Prometric Services: Testing and Assessment

Any other Microsoft Learning offers can be found here:
Product Offers | Training Offers | Microsoft Learning Special Offers

The Virtualization Challenge promotion can be found here:
Microsoft Virtualization | Microsoft Learning#

Hope this helps,

Budzy.

As Budzy said M$ has been dead lately in regards to offers. No Second Shot, no Technet discounts, nothing. Only thing you could do is get a voucher from eBay or elsewhere that will bring the test price down a little.

Ive never seen anything like this before! Have they done many offers like this before or is it just when they are pushing a certain product?

This is an exam I have in my sights, I might juggle some things to do this one early!

Microsoft and free very rarely go together!!!

I just took the 72-680 exam which was only $83 instead of the normal $150 for the 70-680. The 72 series is the student discount. Besides the price, there is no difference in the exam and the certificate/transcript are the same. It says that you have to present your student ID at the time you take your exam but the testing center I went to wouldn't accept my student ID because it doesn't have my signature on it. I used my Driver's License and a credit card for ID and am now certified.

There are really great deals on ebay. Don't focus your search on your country but on worldwide. Another good deal is MSRetake remember to check the expiry dates

I had my usual training provider check on this for me. Here's the response I got:

Oh, ok! Thanks for passing this along. I have checked our Microsoft campaign site and found the following message:
Due to overwhelming response, this offer is no longer available.


Meh.

Here's a good place to start for legit vouchers:

CertGuard | Other-Legit-Sites

I bought one from gracetechsolutions.com for CompTIA and paid $165 instead of $243. Check their specials, If they have a voucher thats within 30 days of expry they will mark it way down.
