Pearson Vue | Technical Issue | Power Outage: Request for Retake of Exam DP-700 Due to Unexpected Power Outage – Case #**removed**

Hello Microsoft Support,


I am reaching out regarding my Microsoft certification exam on **removed**, which was unfortunately interrupted by a sudden and unexpected power outage. I had fully prepared for the exam and completed all required steps prior to starting:


- System check completed successfully

- Internet and electricity were stable

- Environment met all OnVUE requirements


Despite taking all the precautions, the exam was disrupted due to a local power failure that was completely out of my control. I opened a case with Pearson VUE (Case #**removed**), but they informed me that they could not offer a free retake.


I am kindly requesting Microsoft’s support in granting an exception for a retake. I was well-prepared and committed to completing this certification, and I hope you can take into account the unforeseen nature of this incident.


Please let me know if you need any additional details or documentation.


Thank you very much for your time and consideration.


Kind regards,
