Hello Microsoft Certification Support,

I am Jeyarani John Benedict, Candidate ID:MS06<removed PII>, Registration ID-52<removed PII> took the AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals-English exam on November 14, 2025 9:00AM , at NC ELITE CAREER SERVICE CENTER, 132 QUADE DRIVE, CARY, NC 27513  exam center. 

As per Pearson VUE practice test instruction, Exam duration is 65 Minutes, 48 questions and passing score is 800. But, I was provided with 45 minutes, 34 questions and a passing score of 700 in the Real exam. Moreover, I purchased Microsoft Practice Exam for $80 and practiced well.

 I didn't find any questions from Pearson learning content and Practice questions.

I was disappointed due to the exam duration and question pattern. I practiced well, but due to the change in exam pattern I was able to score 602 marks. Could you please confirm why the REAL exam question pattern was not matching with the Practice exam question pattern? Could you please allow me to retake the exam? Eagerly expecting your response.

Thank you,

Jeyarani John Benedict

    The exam duration and question pattern for Microsoft certification exams can vary based on updates to the exam content and structure. For the AZ-900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam, the typical exam duration is 45 minutes with around 34 questions, and the passing score can vary. It is possible that the practice test you used had different parameters than the actual exam due to updates or changes made by Microsoft.

    Unfortunately, I cannot address requests for retaking the exam or specific grievances regarding exam content or scoring. For concerns regarding the exam experience or discrepancies, it is best to contact Microsoft Certification Support directly or refer to the official Microsoft certification resources for assistance.

    See https://dori-uw-1.kuma-moon.com/en-us/credentials/support/exam-duration-exam-experience

    Exam duration refers to the amount of time that you have to complete the exam. Seat time refers to the amount of time that you should allocate for the exam. It includes the time needed to review the instructions, read and accept the Microsoft Certification Exam Candidate Agreement, complete the exam questions, and provide comments after completing it (if you choose to do so).

    Items on practice tests are not the same as the exam. The exam is not a memory test, so you should not expect to see the same questions in the exam.
