What Candidates Ask About the Microsoft 070-742 Exam

Can you give me an overview of the 070-742 exam?

The Microsoft Identity with Windows Server 2016 exam (code: 070-742) is the official Microsoft exam that leads to the MCSA: Windows Server 2016 certification. It sits at the Associate level of the Microsoft certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as MCSA: Windows Server 2016. Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by Microsoft itself, which is why the 070-742 credential keeps showing up in job postings.

How many questions are in the 070-742 exam, and how long does it take?

The Microsoft Identity with Windows Server 2016 exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 40-60. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

What score do I need to pass the 070-742 exam, and how much does it cost?

The passing score for the Microsoft Identity with Windows Server 2016 exam is 700/1000, and the official registration fee is USD 165. Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so a timed self-assessment with Dumpkiller practice questions about a week before your exam date is a cheap way to confirm you are scoring comfortably above 700/1000.

Are there any prerequisites for the 070-742 exam?

According to Microsoft, the following applies: No formal prerequisite exam. Designed for candidates with experience administering Windows Server 2016 environments. Part of the MCSA: Windows Server 2016 certification path.. Certification policies do change from time to time, so confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/exams/70-742/ before you register.

Can I try the 070-742 practice questions before buying?

Yes. Dumpkiller offers a free 070-742 PDF demo so you can review the question style, difficulty, and explanations before committing to anything. After purchase, your Microsoft Identity with Windows Server 2016 material includes 365 days of free updates, and if your product expires after that, you can extend the update service at a 50% discount from your member zone.

What happens if I do not pass the 070-742 exam, and how is my order delivered?

If you take the corresponding 070-742 exam within 60 days of your purchase and do not pass, you can apply for a full refund under our 100% Money Back Guarantee, subject to a few conditions: the failed exam must be the one matching your purchase; sitting the exam within 3 days of purchase does not qualify, since that leaves too little preparation time; downloading the material without actually taking the exam does not qualify; free materials and expired orders are excluded; and the candidate name must match the payer name. To apply, send a scanned copy of your enrollment slip together with your official Score Report (PDF) within 2 days after the exam, and claims are processed within 7 days. If you would rather not take a refund, you can exchange your purchase for two free products of equal value while keeping the update service on the product you originally bought.
