Microsoft Software Asset Management (SAM) - Core Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most

What is the Microsoft 070-713 exam?

The 070-713 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the Microsoft SAM Optimization certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Software Asset Management (SAM) - Core credential. It sits at the Specialist level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to Microsoft Specialist: Software Asset Management (SAM), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 070-713 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 070-713 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.

What score do I need to pass the 070-713 exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the 070-713 exam is 700/1000, and the official registration fee is USD 165. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 126 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Are there any prerequisites for the 070-713 exam?

No prerequisite exam required. Knowledge of Microsoft licensing, software asset management processes, and enterprise IT environments is recommended. Requirements can change when Microsoft revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.

Yes. Getcertkey provides a free 070-713 PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing.
