I've had similar problems. The 282 has not been graded
yet, or at least VUE & Prometric hasn't released results
yet. Unlike Vue which would show TAKEN, Prometric shows
FAILED on all MS beta exams until the answer key/score key
is released. Then if you are lucky, Prometric MIGHT update
their website to show the true passed/failed status. For
example, my beta for 290 still shows failed - but I passed
the beta and 290 is on my transcript.
Keep in mind that MS still keeps in the DB the failed
exams - even though they do not show up on your transcipt.
MS can always confirm if Prometric actually sent the
results, so it doesn't matter what Prometric shows, you
can request MS to confirm if the exam was ever received.
