MDOP Exam 70-656 Goes Live - with Charter Member Swag!

Exam 70-656 for Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) went live on June 19th. The first 500 exam takers may take the exam for free by using the Prometric Promo Code "MDOP", and the first 200 to pass the exam get a Charter Member jacket and glass award! If you are considering taking the exam, it consists of 75 questions, is over three hours long, and I recommend that you make sure that you know each component of MDOP very well in order to pass the test. I took it last Saturday and passed with a score of 748/700, so hopefully I am one of the first 200 so I get the cool swag!

Just a quick question. Did you receive a welcome mail for MDOP charter award after passing the exam?

Thanks

In respose to your comment, mail2_dhana, I never did receive a welcome e-mail after passing the exam, or any other correspondence. After about four weeks, I e-mailed mdopchar@microsoft.com and asked if I was one of the first 200 to pass the exam to see if I qualified for the award. I got a response back afterwards congratulating me and asking for my address and jacket size, and then I received the jacket and award a few weeks after that. While writing this post, I just checked www.microsoft.com/.../certified.mspx and as of November 2008, there are 272 individuals who have passed the MDOP exam. Hopefully you took it early enough and they will tell you that were one of the first 200.

Kind regards,

Brian Leary
