Answer 1

For most Microsoft certification exams, the score and result are available within minutes of finishing the exam, and the result is then reflected in the Microsoft Learn profile and Certification Dashboard within 24 hours.

For exams that include labs (performance-based items), scoring can take longer. These exams can take about 30 minutes or more to score, and the score will still be passed automatically to the certification database and should appear in the Certification Dashboard within 24 hours of exam delivery.

For beta exams, results are not immediate. Scores are released only after the beta exam goes live, typically about 10–12 weeks after the beta period begins, and approximately 10 days after the exam becomes generally available.

If a passed exam is not visible or the related certificate is missing after this timeframe, the recommended action is to contact Microsoft Credentials Support via the certification support channel.
