    Hi,

    God help me but I have my first attempt at the 70-271 next week. I just wondered how many questions there were and what is the pass mark? (plus any advice is always appreciated!)

    Thanks

    Pass mark for all Microsoft exams is 700, but that doesn't necessarily equal 70%, nor is it confirmed that every exam scores on a range from 0-1000. Plus, some questions may be unscored, so you can't go on a straight percentage.

    Dunno how many questions it's got these days... Microsoft changes the number of questions every so often, so any information you get on that might be outdated.

    Best advice I can give is to not worry so much about how many questions there are and what the passing score is... focus on learning the concepts completely and all that other stuff won't matter. :)

    I am about to do 271 my self before I hit 290, and I am assuming there will be around 50-60 questions, but like BM said dont worry about it just make sure you know your stuff for the exam.
