Can I re appear in Microsoft AB 731 exam free of cost

A score of 611 does not qualify for an automatic free AB-731 retake; the passing score is 700, and Microsoft requires payment for a certification exam retake unless a separate voucher or offer specifically covers it.^1^^2^

When you can retake it

• After the first failed attempt: wait at least 24 hours.
• After subsequent failed attempts: wait 14 days between attempts.
• You may attempt the same exam no more than five times within 12 months of the first attempt.
• Each retake must be paid for, if applicable.^2^

Schedule the next attempt from the Microsoft Learn profile associated with the account used for the first exam.

Possible exceptions

• Exam Replay: A free retake is available only if an Exam Replay package that includes a retake was purchased before the original attempt; it cannot normally be added afterward.^3^
• Voucher or promotion: Check the original offer’s terms. Microsoft free-exam promotions can be limited to one attempt, with retakes scheduled and paid for separately.^4^
• Beta attempt: If the AB-731 attempt occurred while the exam was in beta, it cannot be taken again during the beta period. After an unsuccessful beta result, it may be retaken once the exam is live.^2^
• Technical failure during the exam: If an internet or equipment failure occurred and Pearson VUE created a case, Microsoft permits a request to waive the waiting period. The policy does not state that this waiver provides a free attempt, and the Pearson VUE case number is required.^2^

Before rescheduling, use the AB-731 score report to identify weaker sections and review the exam’s self-paced learning and study resources.^1^
