Reading through Connect forums and blogs I have found a lot of questions like: What are the areas of questions on this or this certification exam?

My personal experience tells me that there's no better way to know than just try to pass te exam. When you have got NOT PASSED you get also the list of areas where you have good or poor knowledge.

On the other hand, people who want to get Certified are confused and frightened sometimes - 'what if I will not pass the exam and fail my investment in it?'

Well, here comes question: Does Symantec provide special offer like Microsoft's 'second Shot'? (you can have second attempt to pass exam for free if you fail the first one)
