The exam will have between 45 and 60 questions. Some questions may be worth more than one point, and some may be worth nothing (as Microsoft may be testing new questions to enter the rotation), so the important thing is to try not to get ruffled by anything you are not sure about.

There is definitely a certain mindset that can help you take the MS certification exams; for example, as you go through the exam, later questions may jog your memory or give you a clue to something that you were stuck on earlier, so flag anything you are not sure about to come back to later. That said, some questions will not let you skip forward, as they could be part of a multiple-question scenario. The MS-700 exam will normally have at least one of these scenario sections that will be approximately 10 questions long.

Questions are traditionally multiple choice; however, there are several different formats that you might come across, including the following:

 Build list

 Active screen

 Drag and drop

 Case study

You can see the full list of possible question types at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/certification-exams.

Case study questions aim to give you some real-world information that is then used across multiple questions. The information usually takes the form of paragraphs of information and then some supplementary data, such as tables, and so on. You can refer to this data as you need to during the subsequent questions. When answering case study questions, the text of the question will usually give you a specific clue about which part of the case study you should pay close attention to. For example, it might ask about what policy will meet the HR security requirements, in which case make sure you read the security requirement section closely.

You may also find some simulation or lab-based questions where you are given access to a sample environment and are expected to configure particular things. This is where having some real-world experience with Teams is helpful, as the chances are that it may look slightly different in real life than it does in books or training materials (because of the ever-evolving nature of the product). Simulation questions come in and out of favor, so you may not have any.

To pass the exam, you need to score at least 700 out of a possible 1,000 points available on the test; however, this does not directly correlate with a percentage-based score, as some questions can be weighted up or down. There is no distinction between passing with 700 points or full marks; a pass is a pass.

Don't just study the questions and answers! The questions on the actual exam will be different from the practice questions included in this book. The exam is designed to test your knowledge of a concept or objective, so use this book to learn the objectives behind the questions.
