Caution: Microsoft second chance

I know most people probably aren't as stupid as me, but I thought it might be a good idea to post a warning, and maybe save some other idiots from a similar fate !

I am doing an MCP soon, so I hope to use this, when I go to register it asks for the MCP ID, I have not done an MCP before so don't have one, do I have to do one of the exams before to get the ID then I can use it from then on or what do I have to do?

You are given your MCP ID number when you complete your first exam. It gives you access to the MCP site, which allows you to view your transcripts and results and has a load of resources you can use.
