Hi

Prometric are the only testing provider for Microsoft. In 2007 they changed from having 2 to just having 1 namely Prometric.

So to answer your questions as best I can

1. You should be able to do so. What happens is when you rebook your exam you supply the SAME second shot voucher you used when you applied for your first exam. As its based on the exam not the testing centre you should be ok. (Check this thread for details)

2. See #1

3. Yes Prometric are the only testing company that you can do ANY Microsoft exam with.

Hope that answers your questions

There's a testing center in limerick too noel

Ginger

Doesnt seem to one listed on the website..

Only Dublin, Cork and Galway. Unless its a private centre for an academic institute

Barrypr

Ya Limerick business school I have done tests there, and attended courses.

Ginger

In those cases you may need to contact the centre directly and they might or might not let you take the test without a course.

Also is it a Prometric site? They are the only ones that can deliver the test content

Prometric and person vue from what I no, before I did the courses I asked could I just sit exam they said yes at the time.

700 out of 1000 same as all MS exams

You will need to score passing grades on both question and sims otherwise you will fail the exam

Hi there

If Microsoft extend the 2nd Chance offer can you only avail of this once?

In other words if I need to use this for say 70-620 exam then I can not use this for any more Microsoft exams?

Thanks

You can apply for as many second shots as you need. So you can use them for each exam you want to take. You need a different voucher number for each exam.

So for example

You decide to do 70-620. You apply for a voucher before applying for the exam. You pass the exam. You dont need the voucher now. So it expires

You now decide to do 70-622. Again you apply for a new voucher before applying for the exam. Do the exam and fail. Retry for free using your second voucher..

EG #2

Again decide to do 70-620. You apply for a voucher before applying for the exam. You fail the exam. You can use the voucher again now.

Just apply for the 70-620 exam again using the same voucher again. Pass this time.

EG #3

Again with 70-620 as before apply for voucher, fail. Retry with voucher, fail again.

Apply for new voucher and apply for 70-620 (third time) and pass this time, second voucher expires

Make sense???
