Preparing for a Microsoft Certification exam? Explore upcoming case study updates and new options for scheduling approved accommodations online. If you're preparing for a Microsoft Certification exam, two upcoming changes may make your exam experience easier to navigate and schedule. The case study interface is being redesigned for greater readability and accessibility, and Pearson's accommodations process is becoming more streamlined. Certification exams should give every candidate a clear opportunity to demonstrate what they know. By making complex case studies easier to navigate and reducing friction in the accommodations process, these updates are designed to help candidates focus more fully on the skills being assessed. Here's what is changing, when the updates will be available, and what you need to know before scheduling your exam. A redesigned case study experience Case study questions ask you to work through a detailed business scenario while answering related questions. Because that can mean viewing a large amount of information at once, the experience has been redesigned with readability, accessibility, and navigation in mind. The updated case study format has begun rolling out, with the goal of making it available for all exams and languages by the end of the calendar year. The exam sandbox is expected to fully reflect the new format by the end of October 2026. New features include: 1. A cleaner full-screen layout. View the question and supporting scenario side by side, then use the splitter bar to adjust how much space each receives. New full-screen case study layout 2. A responsive layout. On smaller displays or when using zoom, magnification, or other assistive setups, the interface shifts to a single-column reading order. The question, answer area, and scenario content appear vertically, reducing the need for horizontal scrolling. Responsive single-column layout 3. Faster navigation. Use the linked Case Study Contents outline to move directly to a section. "Back to top" and "Back to contents" controls in the bottom right corner of the screen help you return without scrolling through the entire scenario. "Back to contents" control in the bottom right corner of the responsive experience More options for scheduling approved accommodations Microsoft has also been working with Pearson to make requesting and scheduling accommodations simpler and faster. Available now: Online scheduling for approved accommodations Candidates with some preapproved accommodations can now book their exam online instead of calling the accommodations scheduling team. For example, extra testing time, the most commonly requested accommodation, can now be scheduled on the web. Some accommodations that require additional arrangements, such as a separate room, still require a phone call, but more accommodations are expected to move to online scheduling over time. Coming in 2027 A modern accommodations request system in early 2027. The current accommodations request system will be replaced with a streamlined experience integrated into registration and scheduling, so candidates can request an accommodation when they register instead of through a separate process. Expanded online scheduling in mid-2027. Web scheduling is planned to expand to accommodations that require a separate room or advance lead time to set up the delivery, allowing more candidates to schedule online without calling. What certification candidates should know Before your exam, use the exam sandbox to become familiar with the updated case study experience. If you have a preapproved accommodation, check whether it can be scheduled online or still requires assistance by phone. Review the accommodations documentation before registering so you understand the available options and any advance requirements. These updates are designed to make Microsoft Certification exams easier to navigate and accommodations easier to schedule. Before your next exam, explore the updated experience in the exam sandbox and review the accommodations guidance to understand which scheduling options are available to you.

Windows Server Administrator Associate AZ-802 curated learning path
Hi there, Can someone point me in the right direction for AZ-802 exam preparation? I've been trying to use Microsoft Learn to study for AZ-802 (Administering Windows Server), but I keep running into the same issue: I can find the exam objectives, but not a clear, end-to-end learning path. I found the official study guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/credentials/certifications/resources/study-guides/az-802 The problem is that it only outlines the exam topics. From there, am I supposed to manually search Microsoft Learn for content covering each objective? That feels pretty fragmented and difficult to organize into a study plan. Is there a single page or learning path that consolidates all the relevant Microsoft Learn content for AZ-802? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
