  • Nice. Might not ever use it, but why not, it's free and will come in handy I'm sure. I'm forever trying to write HTML5 webpages

    Would be the ultimate bargain if you posted the answers to the exam for a free certificate :D

    Is it possible to take it online ? Physical test centers give me goose pumps.

  • +1

    Thanks bud. Great bargain! Already have the skills but MS certified will look good on my resume. Cheers.

    Here are some "practice" questions that can help you with your exam. Double check the answers, someone in the comments mentioned that the questions are spot on but some answers may not be right.

  • Thanks dude

  • Kinda rushed through the links but it didn't appear there were testing centres in Sydney via Prometric. Will investigate after some much needed sleep…

    • …quite a few.

  • Thanks op.
    Already made the appointment for the exam.

  • Nice find. Thanks OP

  • +2

    This is beyond awesome, was actually looking for something like this, and free!

    Just signed up, seriously thank you so much for this.

  • +1

    Nice one.

    Now I have to learn how to program.
    Oh well. Freebies are awesome.

  • +1

    Wish I knew SOMETHING about programming :( Would be a great opportunity

    • what a better time to start, also check out UDEMY and coursera.

  • I try to register at Prometric, but always fail. Does anyone has the same issue?

    • Same here.
      Failed on Firefox (Ubuntu) so switched to Chrome and it worked fine.

  • anyone know which location is for sydney?

    • the closest test centre from Sydney is in Canberra :( ** edited.. there're some in Sydney, on the second page..

      • Second page?
        Where is it?

      • There is also one in Newcastle which isn't too far away. I'm sitting there currently.

    • Two in Sydney CBD, one on Barrack street near Wynard. One on Pitt Street near town-hall, MT Druitt, Parramata. (Cannot confirm on seat availability.)

  • i tried booking for melbourne but it always says "NO DATES FOUND". any idea whats wrong.

  • +1

    I am new to programing. Does anyone know how long exam preparation takes for a newbie. 8 years ago, I did C & C++ at Uni. but not much after that.
    I was looking forward to booking the exam in Feb 2013 but dates are showing till December end only.
    1.5 month is enough for preparation?

    • +3

      it only shows up to Dec because you can only schedule the exam for up to 8 weeks in advance.

      However from what i can see you can schedule the exam now for the last available day.. And you can reschedule the exam to a later date in the future, provided it is at-least 24 hours till your exam date.

      Oh for those who want to know the process.

      1) Register
      2) Find your exam. Look for 070-480 in the poorly designed list (FAIL design)
      3) Book a schedule. Find your preferred location. (Sydney CBD are on page 3)
      3) Go to the payments page. and enter in your promotion code. HTMLJMP
      4) Confirm it cost $0.
      5) Learn HTML5 if you don't already know it.

      • thanks for the information. Can you tell me -
        What's the exam rescheduling fee?

        • On the help site it says

          How far in advance do I need to reschedule my exam so that I don’t get charged a fee?

          The fee to reschedule an exam varies by testing organization, as does the amount of time you >have to do so without penalty. Please check the procedures specific to the organization whose >exam you are taking for rescheduling timeliness and penalties.

          I tried rescheduling went through without a problem. Though there is a limit. Appears you MUST sit the exam within 1 year of the original booking date.

        • ok. thanks. that means I have to contact DDLS who conducts exam in Canberra.

      • Yep, ironically a "FAIL design"…considering that these guys will be the ones judging my expertise on "HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3"…

  • dont worry about ut

  • thanks OP … booked in and will then defer to later next year…

    "Programming"

  • .

  • Can I put this on my resume or will I look silly?

    • I thought the whole purpose of doing this exam was to put it on your resume.

  • Hello , one small update, you can spot the same offer in MSDN home site(www.msdn.com) along with the free tutorial for this free exam. I just registered, but in Prometric site the given voucher is detecting as a promotion code, so make sure to select Promotion code.

  • Opps lol^^ you need to reschedule within 16 days of your exam Otherwise there is a fee to reschedule. Which means since im not ready its just gonna to be a "No show" on my profile lol.

    Shame you know i would have done it earlier.

    Not sure if i can use the code again to book another exam.. its useable till March..

    After i took a quick look at the book i'm not so keen for certification will take abit of effort.

  • Just tried to retake the exam because I got to two days out from the exam and it wanted to charge me $30 to reschedule. I cannot retake the exam.
