The 070-445 exam, officially titled TS:MS SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence-Implem and Mainte, is the Microsoft exam you pass to earn the MCTS: SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence certification, a credential at the Technology Specialist level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as MCITP: Business Intelligence Developer, MCTS: SQL Server 2005.

The 070-445 exam includes 40-60 questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the 070-445 exam is 700 out of 1000, and the official registration fee is USD 125. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying USD 125 again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
