The 070-980 exam, officially titled Recertification for MCSE: Server Infrastructure, is the qualifying test for the MCSE: Server Infrastructure certification from Microsoft, a credential at the Expert level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as MCSA: Windows Server 2012, MCSE: Server Infrastructure.

The Microsoft Recertification for MCSE: Server Infrastructure exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 40-60 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Actual4Labs test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 700 (on a scale of 1000) to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by country). Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Actual4Labs practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.
