Why Microsoft Certifications Matter
Microsoft Certifications provide you with the credentials you need to showcase your skills and expertise in various technical fields. These certifications not only validate your knowledge but also demonstrate your commitment to staying current with the latest technology trends. By earning a Microsoft Certification, you can:
- Stand out from the competition in the job market
- Enhance your professional credibility
- Increase your earning potential
- Gain access to a global community of certified professionals
The Power of Practice Assessments
Practice Assessments on Microsoft Learn offer a no-cost, no-risk way to test your skills, assess your knowledge and strengths, and gauge your readiness for a Microsoft Certification exam. Research shows that scoring well on practice tests and assessments like these can increase the likelihood that a learner will pass the associated exams.
Liberty Munson, Director of Psychometrics for the Microsoft Technical Credentialing Program, agrees that this can hold true for the new Practice Assessments. As she explains, “Because we are taking a number of steps to ensure that each Practice Assessment is on the same development and sustainment cycle as the associated Microsoft Certification exam and that they are written at the same level of difficulty as you will find on our certification exams, learners who take and pass our Practice Assessments will be much more likely to pass their exam than those who don’t take advantage of this preparation resource.”
A Valuable New Study Aid
Practice Assessments give learners clear insights about what to expect on their exams and pinpoint where they need additional preparation. As part of a complete exam readiness routine, Practice Assessments can help you:
Get Familiar with Certification Exam Style and Content
Practice Assessments are created by the same teams that manage and update certification materials, so they are closely aligned with that content. Each Practice Assessment is designed to familiarize you with the tone, style, and level of difficulty you would find on the actual exam.
Find Complete Exam Preparation in One Place
Practice Assessments complement the existing portfolio of exam readiness resources available for free on Microsoft Learn. This rich suite of carefully integrated tools lets you manage your entire learning and exam preparation experience—from end to end—on the same platform, as you aim for certification success. Plus, the assessments will be available in multiple languages soon, so you can select the one that you prefer.
Fill in Knowledge Gaps and Get Recommended Resources
Practice Assessments provide instant feedback to highlight areas where you may need improvement. A detailed explanation of the answer for every question—along with links that point to additional resources—can deepen your understanding of the exam material. You can take Practice Assessments as many times as you wish and review your progress with score reports and details of previous attempts.
