Dear Microsoft Fabric Team,

I tried scheduling the exam with this voucher, which was sent to me, but it says it has been used. Please review it. Thanks.

I got a free voucher and set up my exam environment but at the last minute to my exam the onVue system has identified some system utilities(hp system utilities) running from my computer's background. As I tried to fix the issue the time has already gone and I could not take the exam. I wonder what my best option would be to get a second chance?

D. Tessema

Hi Team,

I consider myself blessed to be one of the few challenge participants who got the exam vouchers. This is a great opportunity to be Fabric-certified and grow the community further especially here on the African continent where I'm from.

However, this being a festive period with a lot of commitments both personal and work-related, I would say it has not been easy to fully prepare due to time constraints.

So I'm requesting that there is an extension to at least take the exam by the end of the challenge date on 10th Jan.

Regards,

Liiewa

Hi Liiewa - happy holidays to you! Unfortunately we're not able to offer an extension for this voucher. We appreciate that you want to be adequately prepared and welcome you to participate in future challenges! Happy New Year!
