MCSE - English Second Lang(uage) in 70-297

01-12-2009, 12:14 AM

I am planning to take my 70-297 exam and saw there is another option for
English version apart from U.S.ENGLISH, which is: ENGLISH SECOND LANG

Can anyone tell me what are the test differences between U.S.ENGLISH and
ENGLISH SECOND LANG?

I understand it might be intended for people from non-English speaking
background but is there any different in terms of test environment?

Thanks!

Chin, you should check with the official Microsoft sources for confirmation,
but I believe the difference is that the ESL exams permit additional time to
compensate for the consideration that English is not the native language.

I presume, also, that the ESL exams would require some sort of confirmation
that English is, in fact, a second language, in order to keep other
enterprising native-English speakers from taking advantage of the situation.
