Thanks for the replies. I sent an email to RIM yesterday and they confirmed that I passed the beta. I didn't do well but I passed. They said I should be getting my welcome packet soon. Congrats to all who have passed exams so far.

I just got my certifications in the mail today for the two exams (210 & 211) I passed. I am a tad surprised that both certifications documents are identical. I guess I was expecting something to note one verses the other (BIS vs BES).

I felt the same way when I received my certificate for the BCX-210 exam. I thought there would be something on the certificate identifying which exam it was for. I will send an email to the cert team asking if they can add the exam number to the certificate.

I got my BCX-610 results in the mail. I only got an 88 on it. Oh well, at least I'm completely certified now.

When going to BlackBerry site for documents they have choices for Microsoft Exchance and Domino.
Which PDF's? I tried the search feature and came back with a lot of results.

If you read through this thread there was a post referring to suggested study materials (i.e. Admin Guide, BRK, etc.)

I passed the BCP-213 exam yesterday. My score was 55%. I'm glad I passed but was hoping to do much better. When I finally clicked the "End" button I only had 3 minutes remaining and didn't think I had passed. I used the Admin Guide, Install Guide, BRK and Upgrade Guide as study materials and I have four years experience in a 500 user Exchange/BES environment. There were still a lot of questions on issues I had not encountered. I was psyched when I got to the testing center. Thought I was well prepared. However, as I started seeing the exam questions my attitude went from confidence to concern. I'm usually well prepared prior to taking an exam but with a lack of formal study materials it makes preparing more difficult. Some BES experience is definitely necessary. The last exam I plan to take is BCP-410. I'll probably sit it in about 3 weeks.

Ha ha ha, etc. Just got my score breakdown sheet for BCX-212 (it has taken a while to get to the UK from the USA, who posts these things nowadays, eh? Well, prometric do apparently.)
Anyhooow.... By FAR my best score was in the "Troubleshoot the BlackBerry Enterprise Server" section
<Insert LOTS of jokes about Domino BES and why troubleshooting is the top skill for all DomBES Admins>
Lowest % was in the "Customer Experience" section. Oops. Shows how much attention I pay to users/customers/word-I-cannot-use, I can't even think what these questions were!
Heh.

Jadey - I also did poor in the customer experience. I'm sure that was the section I gave some "thoughtful" feedback to RIM during the beta. My worst was "Reference Documentation." Hahahah
Time to schedule 610 again since I missed the beta because of my silly wedding.

How did you get the breakdown? I'd be curious to see mine.

I never asked for mine, I suppose there is some sort of process Prometric are working through. I also got mine in a wrinkled envelope via post, it had been opened (by customs?) and crudely taped back up.
Only had one through for BCX-212, posted Oct 31. Got to me a few days ago.
Nothing for BCX-211.
Oh, and I just got an email from RIM telling me the BCX-411 Beta has been extended till December 5th, so definitely no results for us on this side of 2009!

Login to Prometric's website and it'll atleast let you know if you passed or failed, although there's no breakdown or percentages. But atleast it lets you get started on the salary bump process, right?

I received notice from Prometric 2 weeks ago that I passed 610 via postal mail and then yesterday an email from RIM that I passed 610 as well.....a bit weird?
I am completely certified now:
BlackBerry® Certified Solution Designer
BlackBerry® Certified System Administrator
BlackBerry® Certified Server Support Specialist
BlackBerry® Certified Support Specialist
Hopefully the next wave of Argon/BES 5.0 test won't be so painful....good luck to all!

I don't think you can be a Certified Support Specialist AND a Certified Server Support Specialist.
CSS is one exam. When you pass the other, I think CSS is "upgraded" to CSSS. A bit like when you have enough MCPs for the MCSE, you don't list the individual MCPs any more.

I understand what you're saying re: MCP vs MCSE. I received official certified certificates from RIM via postal mail of my accomplishments.......so I hold four I'm going to promote them
