Understand an exam score report
The score report provides:
A numeric score for overall exam performance Pass/fail status A bar chart showing performance on each skill area assessed Detail on how to interpret your resultsThe bar chart shows your performance for each skill area. Shorter bars indicate weakness, longer bars show strength. The chart can’t be used to calculate the number of questions answered correctly in a section or on the exam as a whole.
What to do if you fail an examIf you fail a certification exam, don’t worry. You can retake it 24 hours after the first attempt. For subsequent retakes, the amount of time varies. For full details, visit: Exam retake policy.
To prepare for a retake, review the strengths or weaknesses revealed on your score report. Practice the skills where your exam performance was weak as well as the skills in the content areas with the highest percentage of questions. You can also review exam preparation resources on the exam details page and the prepare for an exam page. Note: Microsoft does not share which questions were answered incorrectly.
When you’re ready to retake the exam, schedule an appointment and pay (if applicable) for the exam according to the exam retake policy.
Why Microsoft reports scaled scoresScaled scores are standard practice across the certification and licensure industry because they help candidates gauge improvement between retakes. The passing score is based on subject matter experts’ review of the question difficulty in relation to an expected skill. For easier sets of questions, more points are required to pass. For more difficult sets of questions, fewer points are required to pass. (This is why providing a simple percent correct won’t help you gauge success.)
Frequently asked questions about exam scoring and score reportsCan I find out which questions I answered incorrectly?
No. Microsoft certification exams are designed to validate your skills in various technologies and job roles; they are not designed for learning purposes. Qualified candidates will be able to pass the exam regardless of the questions they are asked; if they he the skills being assessed, they should be able to answer questions to demonstrate those skills.
In addition, to protect the integrity and fairness of the certification process, Microsoft does not share information about the specific questions that were answered incorrectly. Sharing details about incorrect questions could compromise the integrity of the Certification, making it easier for future candidates to anticipate and prepare for specific questions rather than demonstrating their overall competency.
Finally, the certification exam aims to evaluate your ability to apply knowledge and skills in a comprehensive manner. Providing feedback on individual questions might lead to a narrow focus on specific areas, rather than encouraging a well-rounded understanding and application of the skill being assessed.
Use the information provided in this report to focus your study efforts on areas of weakness. If you gain experience in those areas, your skills will improve.
I received the same score each time I took the same exam. Is something wrong?
No, receiving the same score on multiple attempts does not indicate an error. It’s not uncommon for candidates to earn similar or identical scores on multiple attempts. This consistent result demonstrates the reliability of the exam in evaluating skills. If this happens, consider other ways to learn and practice. Learn more about how to prepare for an exam.
I scored zero in one of the sections. How is this possible?
Some skill areas (those with less critical or infrequently performed skills) he fewer questions than others. Therefore, if you had trouble with a skill area presenting just a few questions, you may score zero.
I experienced significant delays between some of the questions. Was my response recorded? Was it scored correctly?
You may experience delays of up to a minute between questions. The exam delivery provider’s software is designed to accommodate this. Your answers are recorded, and the exam was scored correctly.
Does the score report show a numerical score for each section?
No, the report only shows a numerical score to reflect overall performance. We provide section level information in a bar chart to show your strengths and weaknesses more clearly.
The bars on the score chart show that I scored more than 70 percent. Why didn’t I pass?
Because each section of the exam (bar on the chart) contains a different number of questions, you cannot combine the results across these sections to determine your overall result. In other words, there is no one-to-one relationship between the length of the bars and your pass/fail status.
