This has been mentioned in comments on a previous post before but I didn’t know the answer.
The 3.5 Beta exams are still available and apparently can be taken for free – The blog can be found here:
Matt W’s Windows Workflow Place : .NET 3.5 Beta Exams
Note to team, these exams are based on WPF, WCF and WF – Wasn’t this .Net 3.0?? Should these exams be marked as .Net 3.0 Exams and not 3.5?
Just been looking at the exams currently being offered by Microsoft and they are currently running their second shot offer again.
Between September 15, 2007, to January 31, 2008, anyone who registers for second shot and fails their first attempt at a exam and take a second attempt for free!

Just need to decide which Exams I’m going to take. Hoping to do Vista, SQL 2005 and then maybe the new ADO.net 3.5 exam (http://blogs.msdn.com/howard_dierking/archive/2007/03/25/orcas-certifications-follow-up-implications-for-mcpd.aspx). But they might not be released until February. I would like to do a Pro developer one so might do that instead.
