This happened to a few other people too. If you call Microsoft today, they will give you three free vouchers for the separate exams.

If MS allow it, it is possible. Maybe your scheduled time is near the end time cut-off date for clearing their database I guess. Your case is exception, it is their faults but you should also not appointment too late like that in the future expire, anything can happen you know (snow, storms, etc..). Anyway, next time remember to book earlier by few hours to save grace. Well, Good luck, buddy! Let us know results okay? Bye

Prometric hassles
Hang in there . Prometric did something similar to me I booked the 240 exam for 9.00am on the 31st at a local testing centre a few months back. Just before Chrissy I thought I'd better check to make sure the place had my booking. They didn't because they had decided to be closed on the 31st.
I rang prometric and hassled them about it and they promised to get back to me and surprisly they did and arranged for me to take the exam in another testing centre on the 31st.
End result though I failed the thing. Anyone know if the individual exams are pretty well the same sort of questions as the 240 exam.
Hope it all works out for you.

Call Prometric. When you call, be very stern in the fact that you are unhappy because there is no way to make up this exam because the last day to write it was yesterday and that you were booked for the exam but Prometric messed up.
Tell Prometric that you called Microsoft and Microsoft told you to call them. Insist that this is an outrage and an injustice and that you won't rest until you get free vouchers for at least three exams.
Then if Prometric tells you to call Microsoft call them and tell them how upset you are.
I know other people that this happened too and they wound up getting free vouchers for three exams. Microsoft tried to only offer them two vouchers but they were persistent until Microsoft offered them three vouchers.

Paiseleyskye is right. I read couple message boards and people were claiming that they received 4 free vouchers from Microsoft.
I wish I could have read that message before I took my exam. Here's my story.
I scheduled my exam with Prometric like early June to have my exam taken on Dec 26.
On the night of Dec 24, Prometric called saying the testing center I'm taking my exam decided to take the holiday off. After spending 2 hours on the phone searching for a testing center, I finally found one like 1.5 hours away from my office. The rest of the centers were full or closed. I scheduled my exam on Dec 31.
Thanks to Prometric........ I cut my vacation SHORT. I was very disappointed.

4 free vouchers is even BETTER than one lump-sum 240 exam, EASIER to pass, SLOWER time to pass (or was there a time limit on these special retake vouchers??), and LESS nervous, MORE surely 100% to pass, and DEFINITELY we can see each score to pass to improve! Now why don't we all think of it carefully before and just pretend booking at the last minute like that, they might give us all of us here 4 free vouchers too like him I think. Then all of us can pass, 240 is a nightmare to all of us really. Oh well,... too late guys, I didn't think MS people are such generous people anyway for special cause!
