Common Questions About the Microsoft 70-980 Exam

What is the Microsoft Recertification for MCSE: Server Infrastructure exam all about?

The 70-980 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the MCSE certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Recertification for MCSE: Server Infrastructure credential. It sits at the Expert level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to MCSE: Server Infrastructure, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The 70-980 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
