The 070-331 exam is the official Microsoft exam for Microsoft Core Solutions of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013. Passing it earns you the MCSE: SharePoint (legacy) credential, which sits at the Professional level. It is also connected to MCSE: SharePoint, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 certification track, so what you learn carries over if you plan to pursue those paths as well. Employers treat the certification as verified proof of skill, which is why structured preparation with Exams-boost's practice questions pays off.
The 070-331 exam contains 40-60 questions, and the time limit is 150 minutes. Translate that into a pacing plan before exam day: know roughly how long you can afford per item, flag anything that stalls you, and circle back at the end instead of burning minutes. Two or three full timed sessions in Exams-boost's test engine will teach you that rhythm far better than untimed reading ever will.
The passing score for the 070-331 exam is 700 / 1000, and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by region). Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full for a retake, so treat self-assessment as part of the budget: run Exams-boost's practice questions under timed conditions and only book your seat once your scores sit comfortably above the passing bar.
Recommended experience with SharePoint Server 2010/2013 administration and basic Windows Server and SQL Server knowledge.
