Just wondering how you guys know that the offer is being extended? I don't see it mentioned on the Microsoft website.

- UPDATE - I think that this only applies to the "Academic 2nd Shot. What's the difference between that and the normal exams?

I was talking to one of the guys in Prometric here in Stavanger and they said it was being extended. Now I dont know if that is the case as stated above but it does look correct. He did mention it on an email that I could apply because it was being extended and I am not doing academic based exams.

Yeah I heard it was extended too, but the MS site hasn't updated the "Official FAQ" yet. I expect it to announced in the next week

Girls at New Horizon would tell you anything for a bar of chocolate :-)
Is this beautiful blond with long hair still around ?

But I believe this is true too.
