I recently took two (AZ-104 and AZ-303) for work, and you can take them at home. You basically have to show the proctor your room. Can't have a hat on, phone near by, anyone walking around or by you....must stay in webcam the entire time. It's not that bad, as someone who has a hard time taking tests.

Yeah. That would be a real douchey thing to do. I would also like to add if you have a job and your employer is reimbursing you, no need to take advantage of this.

Is there anyway to use the $50 credit from Microsoft from the cortana's they gave out on these exams? When trying to sign up the cost is $15 but of course they charge through another company called PSI. Thanks in advance.

which one is the most useful for a getting a job for a dev? I am thinking AZ-204
Yes... Either AZ-104 (I recently passed), or AZ-204. These will get you looks as more and more IT companies, or companies looking to fill internal IT positions are moving towards.

If you have any questions on the AZ-104, shoot me a message.

How to start studying these exams?
Some college or tech school do I need to attend? Or can study by myself using some books at home?

I am working in a family business, but always thinking to change my career to another.
The WizLabs material is fairly cheap.

How much are these certs usually? We got a 20% pay cut (and still do) and I'm not sure if I'm qualified.

Don't want to be a douche to people who were unfortunate but maybe a pay cut is qualified too?
