Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as MCPD: Windows Developer, MCSD: Windows Applications.

Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.
