Microsoft AZ-720 Exam Specifics FAQ
What types of questions are there on the Microsoft Certification exams?
Microsoft introduces innovative testing technologies and question types, so, they do not provide for the specific item types that will appear on a given exam.
Why is there is the use of the case study exam format?
The case study exam format uses complex scenarios that more accurately simulate what professionals do on the job. However, scenario-based questions included in the case studies are designed to test your ability to identify the critical information needed to solve a problem and then analyze and synthesize it to make decisions.
Can we review the questions after the completion of the case study?
Yes, you may review the questions in a case study only after moving to the next case or section of the exam. After completing a case study and its associated questions, a review screen will appear.
What is a short answer question in the Microsoft exam?
There are questions of the short response question type that can be answered by putting a few lines of code in the available text-entry field. There, you may select from a list of keyword possibilities for usage in the code you create. You may, however, double-check your syntax once you’ve entered your code.
Is there any negative marking for the wrong answer?
No, you are not penalized for answering incorrectly. As, for single-point items, you need to answer completely and correctly to be awarded the point. And, you don’t earn points for the parts of your response that are incorrect.
Can I review all of my answers before leaving a section or completing the exam?
Yes, you can review your answers to most questions. However, there are yes/no questions that describe a problem and a possible solution. And, you will not be able to review these questions’ answers. In addition, after you move to the next question in this set, you are not able to change your answer. These questions are preceded by an overview screen that provides this information, and each question includes a reminder that you cannot return to the question or change your answer after leaving it.
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 does the score report look like?
The score report provides a numeric score for overall exam performance, pass/fail status, a bar chart showing performance on each skill area assessed on the exam, and details on how to interpret your results and next steps. Using this information, candidates can determine 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 reflects 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 earn for 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 computation of the results?
No. Receiving the same score on multiple attempts does not indicate that the program computing the results is in error. It is not uncommon for candidates to obtain similar or identical scores on multiple attempts of an exam. This consistent result demonstrates the reliability of the exam in evaluating skills in this content domain. If this happens on multiple attempts, you may want to reconsider how you’re preparing for the exam and seek other opportunities to learn and practice the skills measured by the exam.
I passed my first Microsoft Certification exam (at Pearson VUE). Now what do I do?
To explore the next steps and available benefits, see your benefits and exams dashboard. Sign in using the same Microsoft account you used to register for your exam.
If I do not pass, what can I do?
Prioritize the skills that you should practice by focusing on the content areas where your exam performance was the weakest and in the content areas that have the highest percentage of questions. Additionally, you may want to review the resources on the exam details page and our Study Groups. For this, check the bottom of the individual exam details page. When you are ready to retake the exam, schedule an appointment as you normally would. Note that you must pay for each exam you retake and follow Microsoft’s retake policy.
If I do not pass an exam, can I have a refund?
No. Microsoft does not offer refunds for exams you do not pass or exam appointments you miss.
