Passed MCAS: Using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (77-604)

I've just gotten home after passing the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) exam for Outlook 2007. Having been an Outlook specialist during my time with Microsoft UK Support (outsourced) I would be deeply disappointed if I had failed this - things, however, nearly conspired to make that happen.

About 15 minutes in to the exam I came across a question that referenced a Calendar folder within a Personal Folder file, only problem was that the Personal Folders were completely empty. I skipped the question to investigate later and carried only to find a total of three questions that it was impossible to answer due to problems wit the exam.

I finished the rest of the questions and went to get the exam proctor with about 20 minutes remaining of the allotted 50. I was given the option of restarting or finishing the exam and hope that I would still pass - I chose the later.

Despite not being able to answer those three questions I still scored 851 out of a possible 1000 with the pass mark being 700, not a bad result considering.

To top it all off the proctor then asked me to discuss the issue with a member of Certiport staff via their online chat - the only advice they could offer was to update Flash on the test PC and reboot if it happened again - not very helpful but I'll take my pass and move on to the next one.
