Over the years, I’ve taken a lot of Microsoft exams. I’ve also spent a lot of time writing exams for Microsoft exam providers. And while I’ve been doing that, I’ve spent a lot of time in forums where I’ve been checking out what people say about the exams.
What amazes me is the number of misconceptions that people have about these exams. So, I thought it would be helpful to write about the most common ones. Unlike what I see (but shouldn’t see) in the forums, I can’t discuss specific questions, but the majority of this is unrelated to the actual questions or the specific exams.
Read on to learn more. One thing Greg touches on en passant is quickly-updating information. This is one of the trickiest parts of Microsoft exams, especially in certain fields like AI: sometimes you’ll find a question that was written two versions of a product ago (i.e., 6 months ago) and now you have to guess whether you give the answer that is correct today or the answer that was correct then. I know they try to keep these exams up to date, but it’s hard to do against a moving target.
