11/9/2000 -- In today's issue of Microsoft's monthly e-mail newsletter for MCPs, MCP News Flash, Microsoft asked candidates for their experiences with Beta exams.

The blurb read in part: "The Microsoft Certified Professional program wants to hear about your experiences with beta exams Your feedback will be used to help improve the beta exam process so that we can continue to develop exams that precisely and accurately measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities of certification candidates."

Responses are being gathered via an online survey, which will remain open until November 24, 2000. According to Microsoft, all responses will be kept confidential. To participate in the survey, visit http://survey.walkerinfo.com/MB252SZ. For more information on MCP News Flash, click here.
