This job guarantees attractive pay packages along with solid career growth opportunities. According to the latest reports, the average pay of an Azure developer in the United States is more than $120K. It isn\u2019t a secret that experienced Microsoft certified Azure Developers can earn up to $200K. This could be enough\u00a0to satisfy a candidate who wants to go for AZ-203 exam preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_AZ-203_Exam_Prerequisites\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">What are AZ-203 Exam Prerequisites?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s a must to properly understand the exam prerequisites before starting your AZ-203 exam preparation. Frankly saying, it is true that not everybody can take this exam. You need to possess at least one year of experience in the development of scalable solutions that span through the entire software development life cycle including software design, development &amp; deployment, testing &amp; maintenance. Also, you need to be proficient in at least one cloud supported programming language such as Python, Go, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In general, the applicants of this exam should be Azure administrators who can build and design cloud applications and services. They should be able to collaborate with clients, cloud administrators, cloud DBAs, and cloud solution architects to successfully implement the solution. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Basic_AZ-203_Exam_Information_You_Need_to_Know\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">The Basic AZ-203 Exam Information You Need to Know<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Although the basic structure of the Microsoft role-based exams is almost similar, it is good to revise them to avoid confusion during any stage of your AZ-203 exam preparation. It\u2019ll be beneficial for you if you can check the basic exam structure, scoring, pricing, and exam policies before starting your AZ-203 exam preparation.

A total of 150 minutes is allowed for taking the exam. You can expect different types of questions such as review screen, mark review, short answer, repeated answer choices, multiple choice, hot area, drag &amp; drop, case studies, build list, the best answer, active screen, etc. in this exam.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Anyway, it\u2019s not necessary that you may get all these types of questions in your exam. For most of the questions asked in the exam, you can be able to review your marked answers before finishing the exam. And, keep in mind that there are no negative marks for the incorrect answers. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Exam Pricing<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The examination fee of AZ-203 exam is subjected to change with the geographic location from where you are taking the exam. For example, if you are living in the United States, the exam fee will be 165 USD. If you change the location to the United Kingdom, the price will become 113 GBP \u2013 a price comparably less than that of the case with the United States pricing.<b> <\/b>This is applicable to other countries as well. Also, you\u2019re eligible for a reduction in this fee if you are a Microsoft Certified Trainer, Microsoft Partner Network Program Member, or a Microsoft Imagine Academy Program Member. These reduced fee benefits are available for students as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/azure-certifications-path\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Role-based Microsoft Azure Certification Path<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Exam Scoring<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The pass mark for this exam is 700 marks. Any score greater than or equal to 700 will be marked as \u201cpass\u201d, otherwise \u201cfail\u201d. You\u2019ll know the pass\/fail status of the exam within minutes after completing your exam. Anyhow, to get a complete scorecard, you need to wait for a few days. A scorecard can contain your overall exam performance, fail\/pass status, performance in key modules in the exam and the key details to interpret your results. With this scorecard, it won\u2019t be difficult for you to analyze your strength and weaknesses in each area of the exam. Also, note that you won\u2019t get a refund if you are not able to pass the exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Exam Policies<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Microsoft has a transparent policy on the cancellation and retaking of AZ-203 exam. If anyone fails in the exam, you must wait at least 24 hours to take the exam again. If the candidate fails again for the second time, the waiting period will increase to 14 working days. In this way, you can attempt a maximum of 5 times a year for the exam. After the 5<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>th<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> unsuccessful attempt, you will be prevented from taking the exam for another 365 days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">While talking about cancellation\/rescheduling, there\u2019s also a definite set of rules. There\u2019ll be no charges if you cancel\/reschedule the exam at least 6 business days before exam appointment. If a cancellation\/rescheduling happens within 5 business days of your appointment, a marginal fee will be applied. In case you fail you to appear for the exam or couldn\u2019t be able to reschedule\/cancel the appointment, you forfeit the entire fee for the AZ-203 exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exam_Modules_in_AZ-203_Exam\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Exam Modules in AZ-203 Exam<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">For the ease of AZ-203 exam preparation, Microsoft has divided the entire exam syllabus into 6 modules.

The same rule can be applied for periodicals such as magazines and scholarly journals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Another important factor you need to consider in this scenario is related to AZ-203 exam dumps. You may come across many books that offer brain dumps to pass AZ-203 exam. Never ever trust this kind of materials, since Microsoft itself discourages the use of AZ-203 exam dumps. Sometimes, the usage of brain dumps can even lead to permanent suspension from taking Microsoft certification exams.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Industry Whitepapers<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Whitepapers are authoritative\u00a0reports that address, solve, and inform the issues regarding a product or service.

Else, you need to seriously consider it. Perhaps, forums and study groups will be the most cost-effective ways that can help our AZ-203 exam preparation. In a forum or study group, you can ask your queries and doubts without any concern. There\u2019ll be experienced people who can clarify your doubts. An official study group for AZ-203 exam is available in the Microsoft portal itself. If you haven\u2019t checked that yet, you must do it ASAP.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">Sample Tests<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">For most of the Azure role based exams, Microsoft provides sample tests in partnership with exam providers like Mindhub to help candidates for assessing their knowledge levels during AZ-203 exam preparation.<b> <\/b>In these tests, you can expect questions in the similar format in a way that\u2019s asked in the main exam.<b> <\/b>These practice tests will be available in multiple languages including French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Both simplified &amp; traditional), Brazilian Portuguese and Russian. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Another advantage of these practices tests is that\u00a0you\u2019ll get a detailed answer report and instant scorecard once you complete such a test. Sadly, there are no sample tests currently available in Microsoft portal for our exam AZ-203. So, keep updated with the learning page so as to get the\u00a0latest notification regarding such a test. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">Online Training<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">For most of the Microsoft certification exams, there is the provision of both online and instructor-led training in partnership with various training providers. Also, note that\u00a0these instructor-led training options are available for individual modules in the exam. For instructor-led training, you can even find classroom training options based on the location you opt for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Anyway if you are choosing classroom training, you need to go to Microsoft partner website and should separately register for the training. For the time being, you may not find any of these training options for our AZ-203 exam preparation since the exam AZ-203 has recently been released on December 27, 2018, to balance the retirement of Azure exams AZ-200 &amp; AZ-201. So, just wait to see training options to appear.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Note that Microsoft has now discontinued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/az-200-exam-preparation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exam AZ-200<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/az-201-exam-preparation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Exam AZ-201<\/a> for Azure Developer Associate role and replaced them with the AZ-203 exam as per the feedback on the beta versions of AZ-200 and AZ-201 exams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\">Offline Discussions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">No matter how many AZ-203 exam preparation guides or training sections you have followed, there is always a scope for offline discussions with your peers who have either completed the exam or preparing for an exam.
