      Tips for Taking the Windows Server 2012 R2 Exams

      Here are some general tips for achieving success on your certification exam:

      ■ Arrive early at the exam center so that you can relax and review your study materials. During this final review, you can look over tables and lists of exam-related information.

      ■ Read the questions carefully. Do not be tempted to jump to an early conclusion. Make sure that you know exactly what the question is asking.

      ■ Answer all questions. If you are unsure about a question, mark it for review and come back to it at a later time.

      ■ On simulations, do not change settings that are not directly related to the question. Also, assume the default settings if the question does not specify or imply which settings are used.

      ■ For questions about which you’re unsure, use a process of elimination to get rid of the obviously incorrect answers first. This improves your odds of selecting the correct answer when you need to make an educated guess.

      Exam Registration

      At the time this book was released, Microsoft exams are given using Prometric testing centers (800-755-EXAM [800-755-3926]). As of December 31, 2014, Microsoft will be ending its relationship with Prometric and all exams will be delivered through the more than 1,000 Authorized VUE Testing Centers around the world. For the location of a testing center near you, go to VUE’s website at www.vue.com. If you are outside of the United States and Canada, contact your local VUE registration center.

      Find out the number of the exam that you want to take and then register with the Prometric registration center nearest to you. At this point, you will be asked for advance payment for the exam. The exams are $125 each, and you must take them within one year of payment. You can schedule exams up to six weeks in advance, or as late as one working day prior to the date of the exam. You can cancel or reschedule your exam if you contact the center at least two working days prior to the exam. Same-day registration is available in some locations, subject to space availability. Where same-day registration is available, you must register a minimum of two hours before test time.

      When you schedule the exam, you will be provided with instructions regarding appointment and cancellation procedures, ID requirements, and information about the testing center location. In addition, you will receive a registration and payment confirmation letter from Prometric.

      Microsoft requires certification candidates to accept the terms of a nondisclosure agreement before taking certification exams.
