I took this beta Wednesday. VUE is already showing a result. I know the
result is incorrect since the exam is BETA. I'm concerned that in a few
months when the passing score is determined that my results will not be
updated. Anybody else seeing results posted on this?

The results on their website will be updated after the beta period ends and
the rest of the exam process is complete--to 'pass' or 'fail'. Hopefully,
the latter.

Previously (I've taken multiple BETA exams), their web site says "taken"
after the exam, and then after the standards board it gets updated to
pass/fail.

Hopefully you meant to say "hopefully pass"

There was a problem during the exam. During the 2nd case the test crashed
with multiple i/o errors not allowing me to answer 2 questions. The exam
proctor restarted and I picked up in case 3. I'm wondering if that crash is
what caused the problem. Whether it's pass or fail, once the passing score
is determined, I want my results to be accurate. Not just a result because
the exam crashed.

Firstly, I did intend to say that I hope you passed--sorry about that)
I also took this beta at Vue and my status shows 'failed'. I can understand
your concern that your correct results are obtained. It sounds like your
results were corrected reported if the test allowed you to continue after
restarting the test. I'll defer to some of my Microsoft Learning co-workers
who also monitor this newsgroup.

Good then it isn't just me that the status shows failed.

I took the test with Prometric and the status shows as "Tested". Was very surprised that there were all "testlet" scenario questions. It's as much a reading comprehension test (and with 81 questions on the beta) and an endurance test as it is a technical test. That said, I still wasn't sure how I did when I left...Best of luck to those who took the exam - if I did pass it, it ranks right up there with the all time miracles....
