Microsoft Exams

= Overview = Microsoft exams may be a good way for some students to earn credit. There are a number of exams, some of which are periodically offered for free if you sign up for one of their periodic free virtual training days. Otherwise, the exams can be relatively inexpensive (depending on where you live) and worth ACE credit. Microsoft maintains a list of which of their exams are worth ACE credits. They use PearsonVUE proctoring, allowing you to take the exam online or to visit a center for testing.

= Additional Information = Some of the exams can be quite difficult if you are wholly unfamiliar with the concepts before studying. Because of this, preparation for an exam may take significantly longer than exams for things like Study.com or Sophia.org. Practicing on mock exams could ease your preparation as it helps to understand the questioning style of Microsoft Exams' Questions. This is how you can get an idea of what and how questions are asked in Microsoft exams.

= Equivalencies = A blank space does not mean that a particular exam is not accepted; it only means that no students have reported any equivalencies.
