Hi Folks!

I'm about to take the MTA 98-361 certification exam, but I have some questions about the test. I'm gonna list them:

1- Is the test on paper or eletronic (on a PC)?

2- Is the test multiple choice only or there are another kind of questions, such as argumentative or algorithmically?

3- How long is the test?

4- What is the pass grade?

If there is a link about this info, I apologize but I can't found. At last these are my doubts. I thank you for the answers.

Hi, Gabriel.

Here is the complete exam description, including all the info you should be studying for with links to help you learn:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-98-361.aspx

I think I can answer most of your questions.

The test is a computer test. You must bring two forms of ID to the testing center and cannot have any electronic devices on you. You will be monitored by a camera on the wall.
Most exam questions are multiple choice with maybe some saying "Check all that apply". Microsoft has been changing the way they make their tests. You can read about the different types of exam questions here:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/certification-exams.aspx
Usually they give you between 90 to 220 minutes to complete your exam. It's different for each exam. As you take the exam, you must monitor your time remaining in relation to the number of exam questions you have left.
Most exams have a passing score of 700. Check out the Sticky Post at the top of the forum. It addresses this.

Here are Microsoft's exam policies and FAQs:

You can also buy a practice test from MeasureUp that simulates the real exam with the same style of questioning on the same topics. However, the questions will be different (of course!) so you won't be cheating:

Here is some free training from Microsoft to help you prepare for the exam:

Good luck!
