From past couple of weeks I was preparing for exam 70-461
(Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012) certification after completing 70-462
(Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases) and I got a break through
last week when I cleared my exam. So YES!!!!! I've completed 2 Levels for a
MCSA (Microsoft Certified Solution Associate) and now I am MCP (Microsoft
Certified Professional).
Just because of your encouragement it boosted me to go ahead
and complete this certification. A biggggg thank you to you all and special
thanks to Sanjeevi K for his guidance.
As I maintain this blog for SQL Server and since now I have
fair idea now about these exams so thought of sharing this with you so that I
can guide you guys if you are planning for these certifications.
For those who don’t have much idea about how to give
certification below is the simple procedure:
1.
Go to the Microsoft site
2.
Create a Live ID.
3.
Cost for the certification is 4500 INR (Till
Now).
4.
Enter your complete address. Depending on your
address it will automatically display your nearest prometric center.
5.
Select the best possible date and time for the
exam which suits you.
6.
Once it is confirmed on exam date reach the
center 15 min prior.
Following are the brief note on the exam:
Total Questions: 42
Total Marks: 1000
Duration: 120 Minutes
Passing Score: 700 (70% minimum score you should score to
pass)
1. Most of the questions are MCQ i.e. Almost 32-35
questions.
2. Few of the questions are query designing i.e. Designing
Views, SP's or Functions.
3. And rest Query designing but along with options.
4. Weightage of these questions is not same as each question
are independent. Marks for each question are not displayed it is calculated
internally. At the end of the exam the total score will be displayed.
