    I am  a proctor for the MS win 7 config test 70-680 and recently had a customer take this test 3 times and failed.  He was told that he will need to wait one year to retake this test.  Is this true?  If not how long does he have to wait before he can retake the test again?

    Hi Smartin8380,

    I don't believe this information is accurate unless this person had already failed the exam twice before (in addition to these 3 failures) in the same 12 month period. According to Microsoft's exam retake policies, this would only be the case if he had failed the same exam five (5) times in a 12 month period. He would then have to wait for a period of one (1) year before he could take the exam again.

    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/exam-policies.aspx

    Exam Retake policy

    1. General Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) Exam Retake Policy

      1. If a candidate does not achieve a passing score on an exam the first time, the candidate must wait at least a 24-hour period before retaking the exam.

      2. If a candidate does not achieve a passing score the second time, the candidate must wait at least a 14-day period before retaking the exam a third time.

      3. A 14-day waiting period will also be imposed for the fourth and fifth subsequent exam retakes. A candidate may not take a given exam any more than five times per year (12 months). This 12-month period would start the day of the fifth unsuccessful exam retake. The candidate would then be eligible to retake the exam 12 months from that date. In order to take a given exam more than five times per year, a candidate must submit a request and obtain prior permission from Microsoft.

      I hope this information answers your question.
