  • Possible Reasons Why the Discount Isn't Showing:

    Wrong Account Logged In
    Double-check that you're signed in with the same Microsoft account you used for student verification. If you're using a different one, the discount won’t show up.

    Discount Not Available for That Exam
    Not all certification exams qualify for a student discount. It’s worth checking the Microsoft Learn site to make sure your exam is eligible.

    Academic Status Not Linked to Your Certification Profile
    Sometimes the verification doesn’t carry over to your Microsoft certification profile. You can go to your Microsoft Learn profile and make sure your student details are properly linked.

    Booking Outside the Right Portal
    If you’re trying to schedule the exam directly through Pearson VUE’s site instead of through Microsoft Learn, the discount won’t be applied. Always book from the official Microsoft exam page.

    Region Restrictions
    In some cases, the student discount only works in certain regions. If there’s a mismatch between your verified location and where you’re booking from, it might not apply.
