The Microsoft 2nd shot offer is a great offer for anyone taking an MCP exam. The voucher allows you to retake an exam for free if you do not pass the exam the first time of trying.
When you schedule your exam, simply enter the second shot voucher number in the Prometric website. If you do not pass the exam, the next time you schedule the exam it will be for free.
What if I forget to use the voucher?
Don't worry, you can cancel the exam (as long as you are within the cancellation period) and reschedule it using the 2nd shot voucher. The cancellation period is usually 48 hours before the exam date. If you unsure, contact Prometric and explain your situation. They usually reply within a day or so.
Where to get the 2nd shot voucher
The 2nd shot voucher is specific to each candidate, so you need to register for the voucher using your email address. Visit the Microsoft Learning site and search for 2nd shot voucher. The current offer ends June 30, 2009. But Microsoft have reintroduced the offer on several other occasions so it wont disappear anytime soon.
The offer is valid on any Microsoft IT Professional, developer, or project manager certification exam.
