Microsoft and Vue Extend Free Retake Promotion in U.S.

8/4/2004 -- Pearson Vue announced last week that it is extending its "Second Shot" promotion that allows U.S. candidates who fail a Microsoft exam to take the same exam a second time for free.

The promotion was scheduled to end June 30. "Based on popular demand...both Microsoft and Pearson Vue agreed to extend the promotion," said Randy Trask, vice president of Market Development for Pearson Vue.

Candidates now have until Sept. 30 to take the initial Microsoft exam, and until Oct. 31 to sit the retake if failed.

To qualify, the exam must be one on the following list:

70-270, Windows XP
70-290, Managing Windows 2003 Server
70-291, Managing a Windows 2003 Server Network
70-292, MCSA Upgrade
70-293, Planning a Windows 2003 Server Network
70-294, Planning Windows 2003 Server Active Directory Infrastructure
70-296, MCSE Upgrade
70-297, Designing Windows 2003 Active Directory
70-298, Designing Windows 2003 Security

Both the original exam and the retake must be taken at a Vue testing center. The free retake offer is limited to one per candidate.

8/4/04: ecelsner from 49079 says:	Just curious as to why 70-284 (Exchange 2003) is not included
8/4/04: abarkl from Phoenix says:	Probably due to lack of popularity and it's not a core requirement.
8/10/04: jroyse from Columbus says:	Does this mean that MS 2003 tests are easy, and not many people fail, or that the 2003 tests are harder, and many people need a second chance?
8/11/04: IT Pro says:	Why do all of these special offers only happen with Vue testing centers? The nearest Vue center to me is 50 miles but The Prometric is 5 minutes away.
8/25/04: mnovell from Houston says:	I'm guessing Microsoft is trying to get more people to take the 2003 tests. Last time I looked, there weren't very many 2003 MCSE's.
