Do you need a Second Shot?

eek! A good deal if you ask me in terms of certification. From the website (emphasis mine):

With Second Shot, if you do not pass a Microsoft Certification exam on your first try, we’ll let you retake the exam for free.

As an additional incentive to work toward a Microsoft Certification, from October 15, 2008, to 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.)

From the FAQ:

Q. Do I need to register for this offer before I take my initial certification exam?
A.Yes, you need to register for the Second Shot offer on the Microsoft Web site to receive your free exam voucher. You have until June 30, 2009, to register, obtain an exam voucher, complete your first exam, and retake your exam (if you did not pass on your first attempt).

Good luck!
