Is AZ-104 exam still open book or not? As on the microsoft learn website it mentions about not an open book?

I have check on the microsoft website and for all the associate exam in the exam policy it is mentioned that it is not an open book exam?

But microsoft as announced that role base exam will be open book ?

Are all the associate exams are open book or no?

Hi,

You will have access to MS Learn, but this does not make the exam open book since you will be limited to Microsoft Learn documentation only and it is only an additional resource you can use during the exam.

Hi Aslam,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community.

I understand the importance of knowing the features as you prepare for your AZ-104 exam. I admire your dedication and effort to seeking assistance with the exam. Allow me to provide you with options and recommendations for your concern.

Thank you for your insights @teriaavibes. Since AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator is a role-based exam, you can access Microsoft Learn while taking your exam. It is worth nothing that this resource is intended to be used for those questions that describe problems where you may need to look something up on Microsoft Learn. It’s not intended to be used for answering every question. If you do, you won’t be able to complete the exam in the time allotted, and that is by design.

However, it is important to note that this is not an open book. It’s still subject to time constraints and proctoring. Below are the essential details you need to know when utilizing this resource:

  • You will have access to everything in the learn.microsoft.com domain except Q&A and your profile.

  • Extra time has not been added.

  • The exam timer will continue as you explore Microsoft Learn content.

  • This resource is only available on role-based exams, not fundamentals.

  • This resource will be available in the same languages in which the exam is available.

For detailed information and guidelines on how to use this resource during your exam, you may visit Accessing Microsoft Learn during your certification exam.

Otherwise, if this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after one business day. Please be advised that after the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond. If the resolution provided did not resolve the issue, please post a new question.   

Best Regards,
