Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:50:00 -0500

Microsoft and Prometric are offering a free second shot on all Microsoft certification exams through the end of December. With Second Shot, if you do not pass a Microsoft Certification exam on your first try, you can retake the exam for free. To qualify, you must register for the service before taking the exam.

As an additional incentive to work toward a Microsoft Certification, between now and December 31, 2008, if you pass a Microsoft Certification exam on your first try, you get a 25 percent discount on a different exam.

Follow these three easy steps:

1. Register for the Second Shot offer, and take the Microsoft Certification exam by December 31, 2008.
2. If you do not pass the exam, you get a free offer of a retake exam until June 30, 2009.
3. If you do pass your first exam, you get a 25 percent discount on a different exam. You have until February 28, 2009 to take the discounted exam. (Note that you do not receive a free retake offer on this discounted exam if you do not pass it on the first try.)
