We do not know the answer. I will tell you this: Beta exams are open until
the number of people they want to reach have registered, and then
registration is closed. In all this time that you have been worried about
when the exam ends you have probably missed your opportunity to take it. If
it is still open then you got lucky and just register for the exam: If you
can register on the 6th then it was the 12th, if you cannot register on the
6th then it was the 5th. Period. Move on.

Hi Lasher, when will the registrations close?! Any idea about that??
If I pass the beta exam will I receive a new welcome kit for MCITP.?

Giri if you pass the exam you will become a MCITP. The registration closes
when they reach their quota... and there is no getting around that. However
if you do write the beta exam and pass it, YES you will receive another
Welcome Kit.

Hi All,

I completed this exam on Friday, you get 225 Minutes, 180 (3 Hrs) to
actually do the exam, so it's the same as most of the other Microsoft Exams
regarding timing.

The exam has a mix of everything, mainly focusing on upgrading, installing,
and administering Windows Vista, as well as troubleshooting it, hardware
compatibility and the like.

For those that passed MCDST a breeze, and have used Windows Vista since Beta
days, you shouldn't really find it that difficult to complete. I was out of
there in 90 Mins.

The only problem here, is that you need to wait 6 - 8 weeks after the Beta
Period Ends, which means it may be Late March / Early April, before the
results are in.

In any case, Good Luck to all who qualified for this exam.

Looking forward to hearing your stories about it soon

Cheers,
Ray Frangie.
