Mohamud - As of the last I saw, 646 and 647 are planned to be released on March 20, 2008. So if things go according to plan, I think you should be getting results on or before that date.

When will the results come out for the beta exams (646 and 647)? I am assuming that you don't have to wait 8weeks if you write the exams at the end of January. I have written both today and it was quite time consuming. Thanks to Microsoft Learning for the free exam oppurtunity.

I'd like to do this Beta exam, but how can I participate?

I was actually particularly impressed with how differentiated 646 and 647 are - 646 particularly seems very well aimed at a fairly well rounded 3rd line support type.

I took them yesterday. Exhausting experience with 68 and 71 questions, respectively -- took me 4 hours.

Interestingly, other than a single typo, they didn't strike me as beta-ish. Good quality throughout -- for the most part, they were meaningful questions that you might very well have to be able to answer in the real world.

I was surprised though that there were only a single or maybe two questions where you had to select more than one answer. Also, no sims??!! What happened to the previously stated goal of having *more* sims to make the exams test more real-world skills?

Thank you Trika, much appreciated :) I spent all of Christmas revising for these & then couldn't book them I was gutted... All now booked up for January 28th.

(looks like you can book anytime in January now)
