Second Shot FAQ
What Is Second Shot?
The Second Shot offer provides a free retake exam if you do not pass your exam the first time. If you purchase a Microsoft Certification exam pack using the Second Shot offer, you will have one (and only one) retake for each of the exam in the exam pack.
How long is the Second Shot offer available?
You will have to get a Second Shot voucher code, schedule an exam, pay for your exam, take the exam the first time and take your retake exam before the voucher expiration date. Check your voucher for the expiration date.
Which exams qualify?
The Second Shot offer currently applies to academic IT professional and developer certification exams (all exams with a 072 and 073 prefix). The offer also includes all Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) exams beginning with the 098 prefix.
Retake an exam for free
