Hi there, sounds like a Prometric site issue. I would suggest giving them a call at one of the numbers again. Amanda
Do you know if any study materials will be made available?
No study materials for Betas, I'm afraid.

Any clue about when the results for this beta would be available?

Microsoft Learning had a few issues with its registration process for the 71-599 PRO: Design/Develop Windows Phone 7 Apps exam that's going into beta. The problem was mainly outside the U.S., but it looks like the group should have those issues ironed out by the time you read this. (Speaking of Windows Phone 7, IDC predicts that it'll be hotter than Android in 2015. Too bad, because the world ends next year.)
I'd love to hear from folks taking either of these exams, particularly the WinPhone one in beta.
