Exam dates can be changed by rescheduling the appointment, and this is done through the certification scheduling system (for example, via the certification dashboard or Pearson VUE, depending on how the exam was booked).

Regarding extra cost:

If the reschedule is done early enough, there is typically no fee.
If the reschedule is done close to the exam date, a rescheduling fee may apply.
If the exam is missed or cancelled too late (for example, less than 24 hours before), the exam fee or free-offer voucher can be forfeited.

Specific Microsoft offers in the context state:

For Ignite/Build free exam offers, the exam can be rescheduled but must be done before the offer expiration date.
One FAQ notes: “There is no charge if you reschedule or cancel your exam appointment at least six business days prior to your appointment. If you are within five business day prior to your exam time and need to reschedule, you will need to pay a rescheduling fee. If you are within two days of your scheduled exam time, you may not reschedule or cancel your exam. If you do not show up for your exam, you forfeit your free exam from this offer.”
Another FAQ clarifies that if an exam is cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice, the entire exam fee is forfeited.

To change the date, follow the reschedule process described in the reschedule/cancellation policy for the specific exam/offer and ensure the change is made before both the exam time and any offer expiration date to avoid losing the fee or voucher.
