Microsoft Exam Scoring and Results FAQ
When and how will I get my exam results?
Within a few minutes of finishing the exam, you will be notified if you passed or failed. You will also receive a printed report that includes your exam score as well as feedback on your performance in the skill areas assessed.
How do the score report look like?
A numeric score for overall exam performance, pass/fail status, a bar chart demonstrating performance on each skill area examined on the exam, and advice on how to interpret your findings and future actions are all included in the score report. Candidates can use this information to identify their areas of strength and weakness.
Does the score report show a numerical score for each section?
Each part does not have a numerical score in the score reports. Only the pass/fail status is reflected in the score reports, which give an overall numerical score. We give score bars to illustrate topic areas of strength and weakness instead of providing a numerical score for each segment.
How are exam scores calculated?
After you complete your exam, the points you earned on each question are summed and then compared with the cut score to determine whether the result is pass or fail.
If I receive the same score every time I retake the same exam, does this imply an error in the results computation?
No, getting the same score on several attempts does not mean the algorithm that calculates the results is wrong. It’s not unusual for applicants to have close or identical results on repeated exam tries. The exam’s consistency in evaluating skills in this topic category is demonstrated by this outcome. If this happens on several occasions, you should reassess your test preparation and look for alternate ways to study and practise the abilities assessed by the exam.
