full list of certs that are included in the promotion including the MCDST exams (from the prometric website)

Code:

in the UK it will cost me £42 instead of £88 thanks microsoft

 

Does it matter if you are in college or in uni? Are you still in title for student discount?

 

sadly after speaking to prometric its only valid for people that are taking it through academic Microsoft facilities

 

Yup.
Always worth checking your facts before posting.


Unless you're me...

 

Huh ? I requested a code and was sent one (not using it as the specific exams are not ones I want to use) but nothing is said about that :

This is your Microsoft Student Price Code:XXXXXXXXXXX.

How to redeem your Microsoft Student Price Code:

1. Using the Student Price Code, schedule and pay for your exam by going to Prometric's web site, call center or test center locations that can be found on this website http://www.prometric.com/microsoft

2. Go to the most convenient Prometric Testing Center located near you. Do not forget to take your valid student ID card to the testing center!

3. Take your exam.

Good luck on your exams!

Prometric

How did you check it?

What are these Microsoft facilities?

 

after speaking to prometric i went back on the prometric 55% off a microsoft exam page (the one where they list the exmas on offer) and then i noticed the 72-271 for the mcdst exams really gutted
,

also im not sure what he meant but it could have meant if a college/university registers you for the exam then you automatically take the 72-270 version even though there is no difference

i might be wrong.....


has anyone been able to take the 70-271 version using the 55% off voucher?

 

I took myself 72-271 and it is absolutely the same exam as 70-271.

Not sure what is the difference.

 

Hi everyone,

I think it was not clear about the acedemic exams with Microsoft. I have emailed them to confirm that I was in title to take this exam. I have received the following reply:

"Thank you for your e-mail.

We kindly inform you that only students of Microsoft IT Academies may
take academic exams (72-xxx). Please note that you may check if your
University is an IT Academy on the following website:"

After I have checked with them about prometric voucher. I had received the following reply:

"We would like to confirm that you can take advantage of Prometric's
latest student offer. Please be aware that you must register, schedule
and take your exams by June 30, 2010.

For more information, please contact Prometric directly via phone 0800
592 873 or via contact form at http://www.prometric.com/TestTakers/ContactUs/email.htm"

I hope it will encourage students to save some money.

Thanks to everyone!
