The exam costs 99 USD in the United States, but the fee could be different in other countries or regions depending on where the proctoring takes place.

Practice Test

If you would like, you can put your knowledge to the test by taking the official practice exam before you take the real one:

If you have never taken a Microsoft exam before, you will need to make a certification profile after clicking “Schedule the Exam.” If you have already taken a Microsoft exam, you will be taken to your account’s profile page.

When you show up for the exam, you’ll need to bring a copy of some sort of official identification. According to the Pearson Vue website, the following identification documents are accepted:

Passport
Driver’s license
Non-US Military ID (including spouse and dependents)
Identification card (national or local)
Registration card (green card, permanent residence, visa)

Tip 1If you’re creating a profile for the first time, make sure your name matches your ID. If not, your sign-in may be challenged.

Tip 2Use a work-safe email address. Hotmail, Outlook, or your own domain works best.

You will be taken to the “Exam Discount” page after verifying your profile. This is where you will be able to enter any discount codes you have received. Now, it’s time to schedule the exam.

Scheduling the Exam

You have the option of taking the exam either online or at the testing center, whichever is more convenient for you. You get to choose.

Choosing Your Time Block

When you go to schedule an online exam, you will be presented with a calendar that shows you the dates and times that are open for appointments. (There are no vacant time slots on the dates that are grayed out.) You have the option of selecting the kind of clock you would like to use (12- or 24-hour). Make sure that your computer is set to the time zone that you will be in when you take the exam.

Choose the exam’s start time. Check-in begins 30 minutes before the event. You can always start the exam early, but if you have problems checking in, you may need the entire 30 minutes.

After you set up your exam, you’ll get a confirmation email to the address in your profile.

Cheers! You are all set to certify now!
