Hi guys!
Is (now I think was

) possible to do the test twice by requesting another voucher...? Because I've heard of people that make the test a second time by requesting another voucher!
If isn't fair to extend the test until march 8, now is worst!
Anyone???
Thank you!

Is it true? How come? I think the system should check those people who took the exam twice and do something with their accounts... If it is so, I also think that it's not fair...

I don't think the system checks the candidate ID because I myself received 2 vouchers. However, I sent back my second voucher to Evelyn. Candidates who took the exam twice should be disqualified because they CHEATED.

I think it is sun's policy that a candidate can not attend the same test within 1 month!. If this happens, I suggest sun use the worst result for his ranking.

SUN's current policy is that, a candidate cannot take the same exam within 2 weeks. And thus, if a candidate takes the 2 exams, which has a gap of 2 weeks, he does not violate SUN's policy.

Sorry to disagree with you dude. However common sense dictates otherwise.

It is very easy for Sun/Prometric to verify if a candiadate gave an exam twice as there is a pre-requisite to the exam (SCJP2). Because of the confusion with the end-date of beta many guys got vouchers again as there were too many complaints about earlier voucher unable to be extended beyond the pre-designated beta end-date.
Yet I do not think anyone would have dared to attempt two shots at beta as this would be certainly be evident when beta results are collated in the long period before they are released. I think these are possible only in theory as Prometric and Sun can independently / jointly ban the candidate from future exams.
Best wishes
