  I didn't check all the 11 select Microsoft exams, but the ones I did check cost $165 USD if you had to pay for them.

    I believe there was an option to get a free exam if you are being impacted by Covid.

        Yep, always a free course.
        I keep registering to attend it but then get swamped with work (often bogged down doing Azure stuff) and end up missibg attending.
        I don't know if there is a related exam for Azure Fundamentals! Maybe that's what @khey was asking.

  So does the challenge you select dictate which certification exam you can take? Or can you take any challenge and attempt any exam?
