    Hi, I took the AB-410 Beta exam on June 19th. When can I expect my results? There are no details of passed/failed for this beta exam in the transcript section yet.

      The exam is in beta. You are informed of this on the exam page.

      You are informed before the exam starts that you will not get the results until after the exam exits the beta period. You are also informed after the exam that you will get your results two weeks after the exam goes live. Nothing will appear in your Learn profile until after your beta exam has been scored.

      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/support/about-beta-exams#beta-exam-scoring-and-results

      When you complete a beta exam, you won’t receive a score immediately because the scoring model for the exam is not yet finalized. If you’ve taken a beta exam, you’ll receive your score about 10 days after the exam becomes available worldwide or “goes live” -- approximately 10-12 weeks after the beta period begins. This time reflects a comprehensive process including statistically analyzing results and data, evaluating the performance of each question and reading and evaluating all comments provided during the beta exam. As a result, you may not receive a score for 14 weeks depending on when in the beta process you took the exam. Please note that the beta exam process and the time it takes to receive your results may vary."

      I would expect this certification to be added to the list of prerequisites for the Agentic AI Business Solution Architect Expert certification once the exam goes live.

    I love the fact that there are so menu new certifications launching, but can't Microsoft start giving free vouchers again? I am unemployed now going for 4 years. I believe these types of certifications can assist in my job hunting and also grow my own business

      Hi MauriceBotha​ 
      As SandraMarin​ stated you can sign in to AI Skill Fest (https://aiskillsnavigator.microsoft.com/). You have almost each year option for free exam or massive discount. Microsoft offers 50% off on a lot of exams like via Virtual Training Days (not only Fundamentals). Beta exams are great to as they are 80% off. Less materials from what you can learn but with that discount is just crime not to do them.
