Collecting 50% off vouchers for the SA Pro exam

Quick thanks to the acloud guru team. I Just passed the cloud practitioner exam with 983. I should mention I have been studying for the pro exams so a special thanks to Scott and Nick (both very good instructors)

The reason I took the exam was to get another 50% discount voucher so I can fail the SA pro exam again. 

Top tip – It appears you can repeat exams and collect the benefits multiple times.  (possibly with a 2 or 3 month delay)

Hey @DS and Scott, Iets say i have opted for Cloud Practitioner exam, passed it. Then next opted for SAC professional worth 300$ with 50% off code got from Practitioner exam. So if i fail SAC pro, do then too we get 50% off code or if we do pass an exam we get 50% off discount ?

Congrats DS, sounds like you’re at the start of an epic journey!  At least at a 50% discount then…

cost of the pro exam is $300 full price. but if you pass the Practitioner you get a 50% voucher and if you then use this against the pro exam the total cost for both is $250 (100 + 150 = 250 saving 50 ) That saving is bigger as you may have to pay purchase tax (UK called VAT) .

If you fail the pro exam you have to pay another 300 or repeat the trick and pay 250. I have passed the Practitioner twice but I dont know if there is an upper limit on number of quick retakes

But if you pass you are given another 50% voucher. Ideally you pass all the exams first time so you just roll the vouchers into the next exam.  

I have failed the SA Pro exam by one mark  and I can  confirm it is very very hard.   For me time pressure is the hurdle so if you are lucky enough to be ESL do apply for the 30 min extension. 

Good luck in you exams
