Re: 71-553 and 71-554 experience

Hello Sachin,

Unfortuantely there is not currently a way for someone to partcipate in Beta
exams in India. The reason is piracy -- while we know it happens in all
countries, it's been especially harmful to our program in India, China, and
Pakistan. During the Beta period it's vitally important that we control the
enviroment and have valid test results, and we cannot take risks with the
exam questions. While the Betas are a great, free benefit to the developer
community, their primary purspose is to help us create the best, most
technically accurate exams possible for the Microsoft Certification Program.

I hope you come back and take the exam when it is released!

Best wishes,

Hi Mam,

I am a MCSD.Net Developer from India, I am interested in taking the beta
exams for
70-553 and 70-554. But, as I read from your note, these Beta Promo codes are
not valid in India.
I would like to know why it is so???
And is there any alternative way for seriously interested Developers to take
this exams in India using promo code??

Please let me know at ur earliest.

Regards,
Sachin.
