Microsoft Certification Renewal Assessment

From December 15th Microsoft decide to do a new approach, which is called Microsoft Renewal Assessment.

What is Microsoft Certification Renewal Assessment?
Renewal Assessment is skill Assessment test to test your knowledge and experience based on your current Exam and Certification 6 months before your current certification expires.

If you are either Certified in Associate or Expert level which normally it is certified for 2 years, instead of resitting the exams again, the Assessment appears 6 months before current Certificate expire from Microsoft Learn

This will start from March 2021 targeting role based Certifications.

My thoughts:
I say this is the best thing Microsoft done because I can do this test instead of me having to resit and paying for the 2 same exams I passed 2 years ago just to renew my certificate.
The best part of all, it is free.
