NEW Second Shot Vouchers Now Include Half Off Discount

I was just about to publish a wrap-up post about the results of the two previous voucher giveaways, and then this new development comes flying in over the transom…

Response to this offer might skyrocket, so the sooner you ask, the higher up in the queue you'll be!

For an EXTREMELY limited time, I can issue Second Shot vouchers for MS exams that also include a 50% discount on the cost of the initial exam. And by limited I mean, this offer ends sometime in the next 24 hours.

UPDATE: Also, this is limited to ONLY the following exams (I missed that key info the first time around. Sorry for the confusion everybody):

  • 70–432 TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Implementation and Maintenance

Hit Me For Your Second Shot

C'mon and HIT ME!

I’m giving away Second Shot vouchers to ALL comers, good ANYWHERE in the world that MS exams can be taken. And if you hurry, you might win a FREE MS exam voucher!

What does Second Shot mean? If you fail to pass the exam on the first try, you get to take the same exam again, so long as you registered for the initial exam with an SS voucher.

To request your SS vouchers, just send the following info to vouchers@chrisrue.com:

  • How many SS vouchers you want
  • What country you’re in (SS vouchers are specific to each country)
  • Your e-mail address

These Second Shot vouchers are good until June 30, 2010 for any Microsoft exam numbered starting with 070, which means they’re valid for the following types of exams:

  • IT Professional
  • Developer
  • Dynamics

But wait, there’s more!

I’ve also got five (5) vouchers good for a COMPLETELY FREE take of a Microsoft certification exam to give away. That’s a cool $125 you get to keep in your hip pocket if you land one!

Keep reading…
