The 071-687 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA): Windows 8 certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Windows 8 Beta credential. It sits at the Associate level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to MCSA: Windows 8, Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
The 071-687 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120-150. 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 PracticeMaterial 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.
The passing score for the 071-687 exam is 700/1000, and the official registration fee is USD 150 (approx., varies by region). 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 49 practice questions on PracticeMaterial, 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.
