Common Questions About the Microsoft 070-697 Exam
The 070-697 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind Microsoft Configuring Windows 10 Devices — passing it earns you the MCSA: Windows 10 certification, a credential positioned at the Associate level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Microsoft Configuring Windows 10 Devices. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the MCSA: Windows 10 certification, so one pass can move you toward more than one Microsoft credential.
The 070-697 exam presents 40-60 questions to be completed within 120-150. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the ExamCost desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.
To pass the 070-697 exam you need 700/1000, and the official registration fee is USD 165. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed ExamCost practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.
No formal prerequisite exam. Candidates typically first passed Exam 70-698 (Installing and Configuring Windows 10) to earn the MCSA: Windows 10 certification. Because Microsoft revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Microsoft exam page before you register.
