If you haven't read this part of the news:


Candidates can qualify to take Tests 285, 286 and/or 287 free-of-charge. The first 100 candidates who pass Pre-Assessment/Sample Test 285 from April 1 (12:00 am Eastern Time) to April 30, 2003, earn a voucher that can be used as payment when registering to take the actual certification test. The first 100 candidates who pass the Pre-Assessment/Sample Test 286 from April 1 (12:00 am Eastern Time) to April 30, 2003, and the first 100 candidates who pass the Pre-Assessment/Sample Test 287 from April 8 (12:00 am Eastern Time) to April 30, 2003, also earn a voucher. Vouchers are not transferable, will be sent electronically within 72 hours from qualifying, and expire June 30, 2003. Qualified candidates, must take the actual test (if paying for the test with the voucher) by June 30, 2003. *
*
- The pre-assessment/sample tests are free-of-charge and delivered via the web-based assessment tool, ICE, accessible via certify.torolab.ibm.com. They may be retaken to qualify for a test voucher.
- Only one voucher will be issued to a qualified candidate per test.
- Vouchers will automatically be sent electronically within 72 hours from qualifying and are only valid for the test delivery vendor specified.

Thanks for the good news. Though I don't don't use WebSphere Studio, it 'll be certainly encouraging for others.

I just passed 285 and 286.
In both cases there was no notice whether i'll get a voucher or not...
I seems to be a little bit late to get one out of the 100
Does anybody of got the voucher without a notice in the test results ?

Hi all,
I passed ICE test and details are shown below.
Test 285, Developing with WebSphere Studio V5.0
Date: April 1
Time: 5:27:30 AM GMT
Score: 76%
Grade: Pass
I passed this test second time on
Date: April 2
Time: 9:36:43 AM GMT
Score: 76%
Grade: Pass
But I did not get vouchers yet. Probably I am the first one who cleared this test. As IBM says the offer begins at April 1, 2003 (12:00 a.m. Eastern Time). This coverts to 5:00:00 AM GMT.
but I did not get it yet
Which IBM email address should I contact for more info?.
Thanks.
AAP

I mean, whom should I contact at IBM about the status of my voucher. (The email address of an IBM people responsible for this offer). I tried both certify@us.ibm.com
and certad@ca.ibm.com
but no reponse !
I am damn sure I am within the 100 people who passed the test 285.
Any idea?.
